Tasting notes
The 2019 Volnay Les Carelles 1er Cru has a beautifully-defined bouquet that unfurls in the glass with red plums, subtle ferrous elements that combine wonderfully with the pure red fruit. The palate is fresh with fine grip and exquisite balance with cranberry and wild strawberry on the structured finish that suggests it will deserve 4-5 years in bottle. Contender for Bouley's wine of the vintage.

Aromas of sweet red berries, rose petals, orange rind, plum preserves and licorice introduce the 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Carelles, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping wine that's deep and complete, with a fleshy, elegantly muscular profile and powdery structuring tannins that gently assert themselves on the finish.
