2015 Volnay Premier Cru Caillerets

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2015 Volnay 1e Cru Caillerets is a supple, giving rendition of this celebrated premier cru, opening in the glass with a pretty bouquet of cherries, flowers and plums. On the palate, the wine is velvety and open-knit, but with good depth at the core and sap and concentration that promise more to come. Caillerets can often be quite taut in its youth, but this example from d'Angerville is one of the most generous wines in the cellar, as it was from barrel. - William Kelley, Apr. 2018

Allen Meadows' Burghound: A beautifully nuanced nose reflects notes of both red and dark raspberries along with anise, cinnamon and lilac. The middle weight flavors are finer and more mineral-driven if somewhat less concentrated while delivering outstanding length on the stylish and classy finale. Terrific. - Allen Meadows, Apr. 2017

Vinous: Bright medium ruby. Less open and expressive on the nose than the Frémiet, with ripe but restrained black fruit flavors accented by cocoa powder and high-pitched spices. Very rich, supple and deep; very ripe but with terrific penetrating energy and inner-mouth tension giving the wine an unlikely delicacy. ("The 2005s never had the sharpness of acidity of the 2015s," noted Guillaume d'Angerville, who in 2013 purchased an additional block of very old vines next to the estate's original holding, which was replanted in the 1990s.) - Stephen Tanzer, Jan. 2017
