Les Caillerets is the high-slope jewel of Volnay — stony, austere soils that demand the most from the vine and reward it with the most structured, age-worthy wine in the commune. Lafarge's version is the standard-bearer: firm, mineral, and built for the cellar, yet unmistakably Lafarge in its elegance and restraint. Biodynamic farming and long élevage in old oak give the wine a precision that sets it apart from richer, more opulent styles. The 2023 vintage adds a freshness that makes the structure feel vibrant rather than severe.

"The 2023 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru, of which 50% is growing on spiral wires, has more mineralité and terroir expression than the Les Mitans, vibrant and focused with touches of oyster shell permeating the crunchy red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very mineral-driven with a sense of tension on the elegant finish. This is quite classical in style, so afford it three or four years in bottle." —Neal Martin

"The 2023 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets includes the first year of production of a new planting, trellised in a helix and cultivated by horse. Offering up pretty aromas of orange zest, red berries and potpourri, it's medium-bodied, supple and fine-boned, with a lively, elegant profile." —William Kelley
