92-95 points Fine Wine Review: "...the Volnay-Caillerets, l’Ancienne Cuvée Carnot that I tasted is the definitive blend. The wine shows iodide and dark fruit aromas. The mouth is pure and deep with plenty of finesse and depth to its dark fruit, some iodide an fully integrated spices, plus a creamy texture. It is a winner for the vintage. (For those who don’t know, I think there is little doubt that Bouchard’s plot of Caillerets is the best in the vineyard.) (Issue #133; 2011)"

89-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Proust noted that hail damage ruined about 15% of the crop but that Bouchard took no chances and declassified about 50% of the total. Relatively strong reduction dominates the nose though there is ample body and richness to the suave yet precise flavors that exude a fine minerality on the very ripe finish that offers excellent volume if less complexity than usual. This is also extremely ripe and some, including me, will likely find it to be a bit too much so. Drink: 2021+. (May 2011)"

91+ points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Good deep red. Subdued but pure aromas of black cherry, minerals and sweet oak spices. Rich, round and sweet, but with good menthol reserve to its black cherry and spice flavors. This distinctly spherical wine will require at least four or five years to harmonize its faint finishing tartness. (Mar 2012)"

4 stars, 18/20 points Decanter: "Very textural and sensual wine, which ripples easily and generously across the palate, leading to a long, sweet and focused mineral finish. Drink: 2016-2026. (Feb 2011)"
