Volnay Premier Cru Caillerets “Ancienne Cuvée Carnot” 2014, Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils

Happy Bastille Day!

Last night to celebrate we opened this beautiful expression of a Volnay Premier Cru from Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils.

The 2014 vintage is really singing right now and this wine did not disappoint. It showed elegance and fresh, mouth watering fruit, while the balance and depth confirmed this is a wine that can be enjoyed in the future as it takes on some age.

Frédéric Weber has been at the helm of the production at Bouchard Père et Fils since 2013 and the wines under Frédéric are not to be missed.

This Volnay Premier Cru Caillerets was the first vineyard purchased by the house in 1775 from the Carnot family. The cuvée name, “Ancienne Cuvée Carnot” references the name of the original landowners.
