Today we are discussing a fantastic offering by Bouchard, the 2006 Volnay Caillerets Ancienne Cuvee Carnot. Heres what Stephen Tanzer had to say about this wine in 2009: 95 Points - Good full red. Pungently high-pitched aromas and flavors of cherry, raspberry, orange peel, fresh herbs, dried rose and pepper; a compellingly complex projection of Bonnes-Mares soil. Then deep, sappy and utterly vibrant, with outstanding inner-mouth perfume contributing to an impression of delicacy. Wonderfully dense yet weightless wine with a firmly tannic, rising finish of great energy and precision. I drained this bottle to the dregs over a 48-hour period and it only got better. -Wine Review by Stephen Tanzers International Wine Cellar, March 2009 I can certainly tell you that this wine drank even better than Tanzer reported! It had a powerful elegance that red Beaunes are known for and was absolutely beautiful to the last sip. We paired this wine with seared duck breast done with a fig & port reduction served with a truffled cauliflower puree and sautéed haricot verts and it matched up perfectly. Always remember: Bird with Burgundy!
