Henri Boillot, Volnay Caillerets

Henri Boillot, Volnay Caillerets(from a . 60 ha parcel). An attractively fresh nose is comprised of extract of plum and dark pinot fruit that is liberally laced with floral and spice nuances that are trimmed in subtle oak hints. There is good volume and richness to the solidly well concentrated and appealingly textured medium bodied flavors that possess excellent depth and length on the quite firmly structured finish where a touch of dryness appears that I suspect is attributable to

all wrapped in a balanced and lingering finish

The wine's perfectly integrated acidity and floral lift give the finish great hang time

47 ha holding of roughly 25+ year old vines that combines

the 2008 is medium to full-bodied

Mild reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background but I doubt that it will persist

it will easily age for another 25-30 years in the cellar and drink well through 2050

Gaja doesn’t really need to say anything

remarkable equilibrium and noticeable

40% whole cluster

refined and lacy medium weight flavors that deliver excellent length on the balanced and beautifully persistent if slightly warm finale

doesn't look to be 11 years old

says virtually nothing about his wines
