Silky, Elegant, and Classic Volnay Character

Produced by the famed Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, "Les Caillerets" is widely regarded as a benchmark vineyard that epitomizes the traditional, pretty, and elegant side of Volnay. Sitting on a mid-slope terrace with highly refined limestone soils, this site naturally produces a softer, silkier tannic texture than the estate's firmer northern plots. The warm, solar 2022 vintage introduces a layer of juicy red cherry and dark raspberry fruits, nicely grounded by fine-grained tannins and a subtle, stony mineral baseline. It is a medium-bodied red wine with fresh balance and an approachable layout that stays remarkably light on its feet.

Vineyard & Estate Background

  • 94-96 Points Star Rating ★★★★★ – Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy "The same clean cut glowing purple colour. The nose though shows an extra degree of class, essence of Volnay, concentrated young rose petals on top of the red berry fruit. A spiritual side to it says Guillaume. Certainly, I find a feeling of great contentment in tasting it! So much energy behind. An excellent prolonged aftertaste. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Oct 2023."
  • Biodynamic Stewardship: Domaine Marquis d'Angerville farms their vineyards entirely under certified biodynamic practices. Their approach prioritizes vineyard balance and clean fruit definition, utilizing traditional, low-intervention techniques in the cellar to let the site character show plainly.
  • The Les Caillerets Site: Located on a gentle mid-slope terrace in the southern section of Volnay, "Les Caillerets" takes its name from its soft, chalky limestone pebbles ("cailles"). This specific soil configuration shapes a textbook Volnay profile—yielding a Pinot Noir centered on floral aromatics and smooth, seamless tannins rather than the heavy physical grip found in the northern plots.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir hand-harvested from estate parcels inside the Volnay 1er Cru "Les Caillerets" vineyard.
  • Farmed under certified biodynamic practices to maintain natural vine health and soil clarity.
  • Aged traditionally for 15–18 months in fine French oak barrels, keeping new wood to a low percentage to preserve the raw site profile.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Clear, medium ruby red with bright crimson fringes.
  • Nose: Fresh and clearly defined, showing straightforward fruit aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry, and dark plum skin, balanced by light notes of violet petals, turned earth, and a soft touch of wood spice.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and centered. A clean entry of ripe red fruits moves into a steady mid-palate that displays solid structural weight from the 2022 harvest. Present, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity support the framework, finishing dry with a standard earthy and mineral element.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 15–16°C. Keeping it cellar-cool focuses the red fruits and prevents the firm tannic structure from feeling disjointed.
  • Decanting: A 45-to-60 minute decant is recommended to help the youthful 2022 tannins unwind. This wine has a steady layout built to soften and integrate further over the next 8–12 years in a cellar.
  • Western Pairing: Roasted duck breast, pan-seared pork chops, mushroom risottos, or simple herb-roasted chicken.
  • Asian Pairing: Soy Sauce Chicken (豉油雞), Cantonese Roast Duck (明炉燒鴨), or stir-fried beef slices with ginger and scallions.
