2022 Yvon Clerget Volnay 1er Cru 'Les Caillerets'

From the domaine’s oldest vines, yielding just 12 hl/ha. He would be allowed to make 12 barrels and has made 3.5 with one new, all destemmed. Mid purple in colour with an intriguing floral elegance, clearly complex, not the most intense. The interweaving of the fruit and its mineral acidity is compelling, as indeed is the length of flavour. A high class Caillerets made with sensitivity. Dancing towards the ethereal. Chapeau. Drink from 2032-2038. Tasted Oct 2023. - Jasper Morris
