Domaine Henri Boillot : Volnay 1er cru "Les Caillerets" 2022

Boillot’s Volnay Caillerets is a substantial wine. Guillaume explains that the domaine has two parcels, one producing tiny berries due to millerandage (troubled flowering). This gives the wine concentration, freshness, and density to complement the ripe plum and fig aromas. The wine is fermented in small oak casks, but the wood is well integrated despite some slightly astringent tannins. The firm tannins will resolve with some time in bottle, and the wine will drink well for 10 to 15 years.
