Bouchard Pere & Fils, Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvee Carnot Domaine (Ex Dom release 2024) 2000

"Very ripe though this manages to remain elegant and very pinot in character with lovely flavor intensity and medium structure. Very rich with hints of chocolate and anise on the medium length, slightly warm, lightly structured finish. While not an outstanding wine, this is clearly a fine effort in the context of the vintage." – Allen Meadows
