Surprisingly, given my past proclivities, my favorite of Lafarge’s efforts in this vintage was the 2002 Volnay Caillerets. Displaying exceptional depth, definition, and elegance, it broadens on the palate to reveal sappy red fruits and plums. Medium-bodied, this gorgeously nuanced wine also displays a lengthy, ripe, fruit-filled finish. Projected maturity: 2007-2017.
