Tasting, brief note. Floral aromatic start with ripe apple, sweet spice. Very good weight and richness. Moderate structure. Will drink well on the younger side.

Tasting, brief note. Black and red cherry with licorice and allspice. Forward and nicely rich start, good and harmonious structure middle forward. Cellar for a few more years. Nicely elegant Santenay.

Tasting, brief note. Red cherry and berry with spice and floral hints. Oak hints protrude slightly, but will soften in a few years. This cuvee includes everything you'd expect plus the wine vinified in oak, then raised in clay amphora.

Note: we created our own assemblage of 1/3 Cuvée Amphore and 2/3 of the "regular" Cuvée, which we preferred over either on its own.

Tasting, brief note. Vinification and elevage in clay amphora. While similar to the "regular" cuvee, this came across as both more classically Volnay with its intense spice and floral charm, and also riper with more powerful fruit. Tannins are a bit assertive, particularly on the finish, which today comes across as slightly bitter and not perfectly harmonious. I think this has greater potential vs the regular cuvée, even if not quite as enjoyable right now. Note: we created our own assemblage of 1/3 Cuvée Amphore and 2/3 of the "regular" Cuvée, which we preferred over either on its own.

Tasting, brief note. More floral vs traditional Caillerets cuvee with same red fruit. More firm. Good ripeness, more rugged structure.

Tasting, brief note. Dense red and black cherry aromas/ flavors. On the powerful side for Volnay, less elegant right now. Very long finish. Good upside, 91-92 point potential as it softens.

Tasting, brief note. My favorite of the Volnays, both for near-term enjoyment and cellarworthiness. Mostly red cherry and berry throughout with good spice. Rich, ripe and powerful, but also persistent and long.

Tasting, brief note. Red and black cherry, very pleasant now, surprisingly simple for the vintage. Moderate depth and length. Good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Broad array of mostly black berry aromas and flavors with some liqueur and allspice hints. Very powerful and rich, but almost weightless through to its long finish. A little baby fat needs to be shed here, but I expect this will have 93-94 point potential, 2025 forward.
