Description
Summary
Volnay 1er Cru, "Cailleret"
Only 12 bottles, while they last.
- Geography: Located right below Taillepieds (split in two by the departmental road). It owes its name to the rocks that form its ground.
- Soil and environment: The soil is a mix of clay and chalk set on a hard chalky layer from the Jurassic. It is light brown with a light texture and contains a lot of pebbles. Steep slop with South-East exposure.
- The vine: Blend of 20 and 50 year-old vines.
- The wine: The wine is really elegant, delicate, and almost ethereal. Floral and mineral notes on the palate with silky tannins. Beautiful aromatic body. Developing length and complexity as it sits in the mouth. We call it the lace of Volnay.
