Mingling aromas of sweet berry fruit and plums with hints of peony, orange and raw cocoa, the 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets is medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, with a tangier, more mineral profile than the fleshier, richer Champans that preceded it in our tasting. This derives from a parcel planted in 1984.

The 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets will need some time, but it's promising, opening with notes of berries, plums and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, layered and structured, it's chalky and reserved today, but it should blossom with bottle age.

The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru les Caillerets, just two-and-a-half barrels of it, was much more withdrawn and surly compared to the Fremiets, but it does not take much encouragement to eke out those lovely wild strawberry and Morello scents, the mineralité tucked in just behind. The palate is structured and more angular than the Fremiets, but I agree with Jean-Pierre Charlot that one should afford this several years in bottle because there is substance and structure here.

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets was showing a little more lift of fruit compared directly with the Volnay Fremiets - ebullient, vivacious raspberry and red cherries to the fore. The palate is chewy on the entry with slightly gruff tannin, but it is surrounded by very attractive red fruit. I would just prefer a little more weight and density on the finish, although that will probably develop with time.

The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru les Caillerets has a very expressive bouquet, dark plum mixed with sous-bois and undergrowth. There is just a hint of cola here. The palate is refined and focused, a beautiful line of acidity here, gentle, so much so that is belies that power and persistence on the finish. Utterly charming, this will delight over many years.
