ABOUT THIS WINE
Les Caillerets is widely considered one of Volnays greatest Premier Cru vineyardsoften regarded as the villages unofficial Grand Cru. Domaine Marquis dAngervilles holdings in this lieu-dit sit on thin, chalky soils rich in limestone scree (cailloux), which impart unmistakable minerality and finesse to the wine. These elements, coupled with the site’s elevation and drainage, make for one of the domaines most elegant and long-lived cuves.
In 2023, a moderately cool growing season with well-timed ripening allowed for slow, even phenolic development. Fruit was hand-harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in French oak barrels (typically ~1520% new), with no fining or filtration. As always, vinification was gentle and precise, aimed at preserving the nuance and structural clarity of the terroir.
The resulting wine is lithe yet persistentsilken red fruit, floral lift, and hints of tea leaf and crushed stone unfold over a frame of refined tannins and linear acidity. This cuve stands out for its grace and verticality. Enjoy with roasted game birds, veal, or earthy vegetable dishes. While already expressive, it will reward careful cellaring over 1020 years.
