Lot #277. Henri Boillot (Domaine) Volnay Les Caillerets 2005

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 94+ ST.
"Deep ruby-red. Wild aromas of blackberry, game, mocha, violet and smoke, with a suggestion of roasted ripeness. Rich and stuffed with fruit but showing less early personality than the Chevrets, as the tannins are not yet integrated. With its youthful bitterness and firm mineral cut, this is almost painful today in the middle palate. Really explodes with aeration, though, finishing with vibrant, palate-saturating flavor and superb richness. This reminded me of a grand cru from the Cote de Nuits. Crop levels here and in the Chevrets were between 32 and 35 hectoliters per hectare in 2005. Boillot emphasizes that Volnay was the most successful Cote de Beaune village in 2005, as it was in the outstanding '99 vintage as well." Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Mar 2008
Provenance: The Flamant Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $75
