95 Points - James Suckling:  A powerful and quite rich expression of this excellent site in Volnay that has some of the floral beauty of this appellation, but more red fruit and some ripe blackberry. The generous and quite full body is well supported by the fine tannins and a touch of biscuit character. Long, supple finish that pulls you back for more. From the first vineyard that the Bouchard family purchased in 1775. It lies in the middle of the slope, where the clay soil is shallow. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

95 Points - Decanter:  The parcel of Volnay Caillerets was the first Pinot picked in 2022 due to the thin soils and superficial nature of the limestone. The wine has an alluring aroma of blackberry and mulberry fruit with hints of boxwood, bay leaf, and peonies. The texture is supple and velvety, with rewarding concentration and density. The team at Bouchard sorts rigorously for 'figuée', grapes shrivelled by sunburn; technical director Frédéric Weber says success depends on 'keeping it crunchy'. This wine should open soon after release and is suited to mid-term cellaring, although a 1962 from this vineyard tasted this year was still fresh.
