7 months after pouring a glass with a Coravin, and then leave the balance of this bottle in the cellar, I pulled the cork and we drank the rest of the bottle. The wine is sound. No noticeable oxidation and I really don’t think it has changed over the noted time. Impressive technology. On the other hand, these 2009 Volnay from Bouchard are forgettable.

Tasting outside on a warm, calm evening. Poured two glasses using the Coravin:
2009 Bouchard Volnay Cailleret, Cuvee Carnot: Medium red. Nose is a little smoky and faintly cherries. In the mouth it is more expressive of cherry, sandlewood. Silky, not quite medium body, a little drying tannin.
2009 Bouchard Volnay Clos des Chênes: Medium red. Slight nose of medium red cherry. This more sturdy than the Cuvee Carnot, more body, more tannin and more flavour - and it seems younger. Longer finish. Very good.
JULY 27, 2 weeks after the glass via Coravin, I pull the cork on the Caillerets and pour it for dinner.
The colour is unchanged, the bouquet is fruit and flowers - it has really opened up. In the mouth it is silky fruit with baking spices. On the finish the tannin shows a little dry. Overall, the wine has changed slightly for the better in the past 2 weeks.

Quite mature bottle. If representative, I would suggest to drink sooner rather than later…

Riper and less acidic than I expected, but very good. Very popular with the table.

I adore this wine. More a 2010 profile than a 2009 profile. I won’t complain.
