The fruit bestows purity

Powerful and refined is not something you see often

Very ambitious

Note that this well-made effort is going to require at least a few years of patience first

Bouchard Pere et Fils, Volnay Caillerets Ancienne Cuvee Carnot other_regions_italy The fruit bestows purityVery ripe liqueur like aromas of various black berries are nuanced by plenty of spice and floral elements. There is excellent underlying tension to the beautifully textured medium weight flavors that also brim with sappy dry extract and minerality, all wrapped in a bitter pit fruit finale that offers impressive persistence. This is definitely atypical but the intrinsic class of a fine Caillerets is still present.
