2004 Bouchard Père et Fils Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot is the biggest and ripest #wine among the 2004 Bouchard wines I have had. I am pretty sure virtually nobody would guess this as a 2004 and many would even have trouble identifying it as a Burgundy. It is decidedly medium weight on the palate with oodles of black and red cherry and just a hint of tobacco leaf and forest floor aromas. But there is lots of flavor and dry extract in here to go hand in hand with a precisely balanced acid structure. It lacks a little elegance and there is no hurry to drink this at all. It drinks well with some air, but it is at least 5 years from peak and can last for another couple of decades with good storage for sure. #vin #winesofinstagram #france #redwine #vinrouge #bourgogne #burgundy #volnay #caillerets #anciennecuveecarnot #bouchard #bouchardpereetfils #1ercru #premiercru #pinotnoir #beaune #cotedor
