Tasting Notes

92-94
Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 09 Jan 20
Scents of citrus oil, beeswax, warm bread and green pear preface Moreau's 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets, a medium to full-bodied, chalky and incisive wine that displays terrific depth and dimension, concluding with a long and mineral finish.

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru reflects its terroir brilliantly on the nose, which offers aromas of wet limestone and flint, beautifully defined and gaining intensity in the glass. The palate is wonderfully balanced with green apples, freshly sliced pear and just a touch of citrus lemon. This is taut, almost Zen-like in style – just as Caillerets ought to be. Superb.

Tank sample, still on lees. Rich and spicy, really rich, ripe, golden fruit. Spicy breadth and depth, but still draws in fresh on the finish. It has a minerality but more in spice than wet stones. (JH)
