Tasting notes
Freshly cut flowers, mint and sweet red berries are some of the many notes that come alive in d'Angerville's 2011 Volnay Caillerets. Here the style is lifted, aromatic and understated, with veins of crystalline minerality that give the wine its sense of energy and focus. Overall, this is one of the more delicate and finessed wines in the range, but at the same time, the wine is much less expressive than it was from barrel.

Bright medium red. Subdued yet slightly exotic aromas of cherry and minerals. Silky and suave in the mouth, with tangy, fine-grained flavors of raspberry, minerals and spices. Not showing the obvious structure of the Fremiets but this premier cru finishes with lovely subtle mounting length, noteworthy breadth and seamless tannins. A tart pomegranate note on the back leaves a very brisk impression.
