The 2010 Volnay Les Caillerets fleshes out beautifully in all directions. It is one of the most textured, deep and imposing wines in this lineup. Clean veins of minerality form the backbone for an expressive core of dark red cherries, flowers, mint and licorice. The combination of depth in the fruit and nuance is absolutely gorgeous. A long, persistent finish bodes very well for the future, but patience will be the key. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030.
