Domaine Lucien Boillot & Fils 2023 Volnay 1er Cru “Les Caillerets” Burgundy France


🍷 Tasting Notes

The 2023 Domaine Lucien Boillot & Fils Volnay 1er Cru “Les Caillerets” is a masterfully crafted Premier Cru Pinot Noir from the heart of Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, expressing both the finesse of Volnay and the elegance of one of the region’s most prestigious climats. From a tiny .18-hectare parcel of 75-year-old vines planted in 1948, this wine is a true gem for collectors and lovers of fine Burgundy.

On the nose, this Volnay opens with vivid aromas of wild raspberry, red cherry, and rose petal, seamlessly integrated with notes of underbrush, mineral flint, and delicate toast. Subtle earthy undertones and a whisper of oak add complexity without overpowering the pristine fruit character.

The palate is linear, fresh, and elegant, showcasing the classic Caillerets minerality. Silky tannins glide across the tongue, supporting a lively core of red fruits and subtle spice. The finish is long, lifted, and airy, with refined structure and beautiful persistence.

Winemaker Pierre Boillot, one of the few vignerons equally skilled across both the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, employs traditional techniques with minimal intervention to preserve the purity and terroir of each site. His style leans toward precision, grace, and transparency, and this wine is a stunning example of that philosophy.
