2019 Domaine Bernard & Thierry Glantenay Volnay Les Caillerets Premier Cru

Once known only to a dedicated group of Burgundy devotees due to their reputation selling much of the production to noted perfectionists Dominique Laurent and Lalou Bize Leroy, Domaine Thierry Glantenay now enjoys no such anonymity. Formally trained as an engineer, Thierry brings those methodical and exacting skills to his winemaking, crafting ethereal Volnay and powerful Pommard that display fantastic transparency of each specific terroir. Blessed with small parcels in the best vineyards of Volnay and Pommard, Thierry has set about a gradual process of refining and perfecting how his vines are managed, and guiding the wines through vinification with a delicate touch.

Other Reviews....
There's only one barrel of the 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets, but it's one of the high points of the range, soaring from the glass with notes of peonies, orange rind, wild berries and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, layered and ethereal, it's long and mineral, with bright acids and a saline finish.

With the 50% whole bunch fruit, the 2019 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru has one of the most captivating bouquets from Glantenay with red cherries, redcurrant and rose petal aromas, very harmonious and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins and a well judged bead of acidity. This is very expressive of its terroir and having tasted Lafarge’s own Caillerets on the preceeding visit, I would say this is almost as good. Wonderful - Glantenay’s pick of his own wines this vintage. Drink 2023 - 2040.
