Vinous Neal Martin - 09 Jul 24
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has an open and expressive nose with white peach, lemon verbena and light chalky scents, beautifully defined and focused. The oak here is seamlessly integrated. The palate has a flinty reduction on the entry, matched by a keen line of acidity. Tensile and poised, the 2020 builds confidently to a complex, weighty finish. The more you drink this, the more it reveals what a stupendous Caillerets this is. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
