Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 04 Jan 19
The 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is superb, unfurling in the glass with notes of lime zest, lemon oil, Anjou pear, orange blossom, wheat toast and crushed chalk. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and reserved at the core, second only to the Ruchottes this year in terms of depth and concentration, with a tangy line of acidity and a long, precise finish.

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 18
Bright, pale yellow-green. Vibrant, nuanced nose combines lemon, lime, spices and flowers. At once dense and juicy, conveying a sappy impression of energy and tensile strength to its flavors of citrus fruits and crushed stone. Boasts superb definition and stains the palate on the rising, vibrant back end, which leaves behind a distinctly salty impression. This wine has been balanced from the start, noted Ramonet. It's a beauty in the making but needs time in bottle to fill in and expand.
