Jasper Morris quotes Volnay locals in his fabulous book Inside Burgundy, and the English translation goes something like this: "If you don't have vines in Cailleret then you don't know what Volnay is." Perfectly situated to the south and east on a slope of marl and limestone, Les Caillerets' terroir translates into the elegance and finesse of great Volnay.
Pierre Boillot inherited his father Lucien's domaine, and after dividing it with his brother Louis a few years back and taking full control over his wines, Pierre's talent and expertise have become delightfully evident. While he works towards transparent, terroir-driven wines with that Volnay purity, he's not one to shy away from a luscious Pinot when the vintage presents as such. Therefore, if you're looking for a Volnay gateway drug, the gorgeous 2017 Caillerets may be your way in!
