Red
Domaine Joseph Voillot Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets 2018
£82.95
Why Mark chose this
Les Caillerets is one of the most prized premier cru sites in all of Volnay, and the Voillot domaine has farmed here for generations. The 2018 vintage brought real warmth and ripeness to the Côte de Beaune, which suits this site particularly well. This is what people mean when they talk about the femininity and finesse of Volnay: red fruit, violets and a silky persistence that goes on and on. An important bottle.
