2009 Lucien Boillot Volnay Les Caillerets

The nose on this wine is very seductive.  It's not tremendously floral, it's just plain sensuous ... hitting all the right olfactory notes for a Burgundy aficionado. 
Palate of refined cherry with mushroom and spice ..... delicious quality of fruit. This appears to be an old vines-sourced cuvee based on notes for previous vintages from @davidschildknecht ... low production as well ... possibly in the 50 case range (?)
Best enjoyed with food.... offsets the youthfulness of the tannins (which are not too hard, but are slightly unyielding on the finish. ... this one is probably at least 5 years away from prime drinking window. ..).  Sort of like drinking a Calera pinot noir too young.
