Ancienne Cuvée Carnot
95/100 Wine Spectator, April 30, 2020
Tasting Note: The purity, silkiness and harmony of this wine opens the way to aromas and flavors of flowers, cherry, toasted oak and spices. The finish lingers for almost a minute. Best from 2022 to 2038". B.S.

According to tradition, "who doesn't have a vine in Caillerets doesn't know what Volnay is worth". Qualified as a "Tête de Cuvée" in the 1855 classification by Doctor Lavalle, this appellation is a perfect example of finesse, elegance and grace. The 3.76 hectare parcel of this exceptional Premier Cru has a special value for the Maison Bouchard Père & Fils, since it is the first vineyard acquired by the House in 1775. The Carnot family, who owned it, is still mentioned on the bottles: "Ancienne Cuvée Carnot".
