Goedhuis, December 2022
According to Thomas, Caillerets is to Volnay what Les Amoureuses is to Chambolle Musigny: a Grand Cru in all but name. Unusually this was a little shy when tasted from cask, but the potential is all there, with its pristine clarity of pomegranate and tensile tannic lines. In time this will evolve to show its natural class.
Region
Volnay
A red wine appellation only, wines from Volnay might be considered the most revered of southern Burgundy. They have been celebrated since the 18th century for their delicacy. But they are not fruit forward like those of Beaune or Chorey Lès Beaune nor have the brooding structure of Pommard.Instead, they have superb linearity, focus and poise while sheathed in velvety tannin. This slightly reticent personality comes out even more with a bit of age, though some can be approached very young. There are no grand cru vineyards in Volnay, but there are some excellent premier cru examples including Volnay Les Champans and Volnay Les Caillerets. Chardonnay grown in the shared Santenots vineyard must be labelled as Meursault.
