D’Angerville’s Caillerets is one of the unsung gems of Volnay. It captures the racy, emphatically mineral side of Volnay with pinpoint precision and refinement. It’s a wine I seek out every vintage, but with only 0.7ha in Caillerets it’s always the hardest wine to lock down in quantity.

2014 is the perfect vintage to catch Caillerets’ purity, finesse and detail. There’s gorgeous clarity combined with a riveting, stony minerality and outstanding length. The total package is one of harmony and lifted elegance.

We drank a bottle of the 2014 on Monday and it was absolutely glorious. It had a penetrating, chalky minerality with a dancing elegance. Young Volnay rarely gets this thrilling.

I can say without hesitation that 2014 is a vintage that will climb in esteem over the coming years. Given the craze for 2015 that is coming, I believe it is important to highlight the 2014s here. It is a classic, understated vintage, while the 15s are flamboyant and large-scaled. Think 1990 versus 1991. Vintages like 2014 are shy in their youth, but absolutely blossom as they age. Many people overlooked the 1991s, only to hunt them down at a premium later. D’Angerville has supplied me with some of my most memorable bottles of old Burgundy.

Given Caillerets’ track record for aging, I have no doubt this will be fascinating to watch evolve. To order, email offers@crushwineco.com or call the store at (212) 980-9463. Ian McFadden Director, Fine & Rare Wine Crush Wine & Spirits

2014 D'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets

Burghound: "A gentle but not invisible application of wood sets off the notably spicier aromas of lilac, tea, red currant and plum scents. The medium-bodied and intensely mineral-inflected flavors are ever-so-slightly less fine but markedly more concentrated as the dusty and relatively powerful finish coats the palate with sap. This should amply reward 10 to 12 years of cellaring."
