Volnay Caillerets Michel Lafarge 2016 (750ML)

93 Points, Jasper Morris, InsideBurgundy.com: "Also lost half, unknown before. Medium deep colour, some fruit weight in a firmer style, some minerals, then a huge volume of fruit through the centre, covers the acidity and the tannins, but leaves a slightly raw finish." 10/17

92-95 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound.com: "A markedly spicy and exuberantly fresh nose blends elegant red and blue currant, plum and violet nuances together to serve as a refined introduction to the detailed and tension-filled mineral-driven flavors that possess a highly sophisticated mouth feel before terminating in a superbly complex, well-balanced and impressively lingering finish. This is class in a glass. (Drink starting 2028)" 04/18

93 Points, William Kelley, Decanter: "The Caillerets is the most ethereal wine in the Lafarge cellar this year, bursting from the glass with a projected bouquet of rose petal, peony, wild red berry fruit and a bass note of raw cocoa. On the palate the wine is only medium-full, with lots of energy and detail, its firm chassis of chalky tannins partially concealed by tangy fruit. This will be superb in the fullness of time. (Drink between 2026-2040)" 10/17
