The 2019 Bouchard Père & Fils Volnay-Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot Premier Cru is a mature Pinot Noir from Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, showing red cherry, raspberry and red plum with violet, dried flowers, earthy spice and subtle leather.
On the palate, it is elegant and layered, with fresh acidity, refined tannins and flavours of mature red fruit, savoury herbs and gentle earthy character. Bottle age adds complexity and depth to the long, dry and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy drinkers who enjoy mature Pinot Noir with developed savoury character and fine structure. Enjoy now or cellar through 2033. Pair with roast quail, duck with lentils, veal with mushroom jus or truffle and porcini tart.
