Volnay Caillerets, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville 2023

A medium crimson tint to the colour. An extrovert riper fruit on the nose, sheer beauty on the palate, a slightly darker tint to the raspberry behind. And then it all comes flooding back incrementally across the palate. “A wine which levitates”, suggests Guillaume. Very persistent indeed.

Lovely, supple and elegant, the Caillerets from d'Angerville seems much more approachable than usual, with rich, plummy fruit and hints of earthy minerality and rose petals. The texture is lush but not soft; acidity is balanced at best, giving this a 'drink me now' allure that is hard to resist. The grapes are from two parcels totalling just under 1ha, located at the top of the vineyard near Pousse d'Or's Clos des 60 Ouvrées; they are destemmed and gently fermented before ageing in cask. (Drink between 2030-2050)
