Bouchard Pere et Fils, Volnay Cailleret 1971

The Volnay Cailleret Ancienne Cuvée Carnot 1971 from Bouchard Pere et Fils is still showing very fine form. In the bouquet – starting out a bit closed with notes of iron .. but quickly unfolds with lovely mature red fruit and sous-bois … and after some time offering notes of orange peel and roasted coffee. On the palate quite generous, lovely core of juicy pomegranate fruit. It’s balanced pure and fresh and quite typical for the vintage. A perfectly mature 71 – charming, delicate and delightful.
