Bouchard Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot 2005

According to the tradition, “who has no vines in Caillerets, does not know what Volnay is worth”. Qualified as “Tete de cuvee” in the 1855 rating by Dr. Lavalle, this appellation is the very example of finesse, elegance and gracefulness. The 3.76 hectares of this exceptional premier cru have a particularly meaning for Bouchard, since it was the first vineyard bought by the House in 1775. The Carrot family who owned the land is still mentioned on the bottles “Ancienne Cuvee Carnot”.
