Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 20
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a similar nose to the Morgeots: austere and steely, very mineral driven with hints of sea spray/seaweed. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, spicier than the aforementioned Morgeots with a lovely sapid, spicy finish. Very fine.
