Bouchard Père & Fils Ancienne Cuvée Carnot Caillerets Volnay 1er Cru 2020

Red fruit, peonies, and a hint of licorice. So silky, entwined around a fine core. It has tension and vibrancy and a touch of strictness. Salty, tangy, tight, and persistent on the finish. I like the nervosity. Drink date: 2026-2035. Score – 95. (Sarah Marsh, MW, The World of Fine Wine, Nov. 2, 2022)
