Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot Bouchard Père Et Fils, 2022

Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot from Bouchard Père & Fils is a refined expression of one of the Côte de Beaune’s most admired climats. Made from Pinot Noir in the elegant, mineral-driven Volnay style, it combines precision, perfume, and finesse with the depth expected from a premier cru Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a bright ruby color with a graceful, translucent sheen typical of fine Volnay. The nose is usually lifted and complex, with red cherry, wild strawberry, violet, rose petal, and subtle spice layered over a chalky, earthy undertone. On the palate, it is poised and silky, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral finish that can reveal more savory and tertiary nuance with bottle age. The 2022 vintage should offer both generosity and structure, making it appealing in youth while still promising excellent development over time. With careful cellaring, this wine can gain greater depth, showing more truffle, dried flower, and forest floor complexity as it matures.

Production
Les Caillerets is one of Volnay’s most prized premier cru sites, known for its stony, well-drained soils that help produce wines of perfume, tension, and elegance. Bouchard Père & Fils, with its long Burgundian heritage, typically vinifies its top sites with a focus on preserving fruit purity, site expression, and balance, using careful fermentation and élevage to support the wine’s natural finesse without overpowering it.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for roast duck, quail, veal, mushroom dishes, and poultry with earthy sauces, as well as simply prepared game birds. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant gently if opening young to allow the aromatics to unfold; older bottles may only need a brief aeration.

Producer
Founded in 1731, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of Burgundy’s most historic and respected producers, with an extensive portfolio of vineyards across the Côte d’Or. The domaine is especially significant for its holdings in premier and grand cru sites, and it has built a strong reputation for producing wines that balance classic Burgundian elegance with age-worthy structure.
