The Chassagne Montrachet Les Caillerets from Jean-Noël Gagnard is a very refined wine. In the boquet a touch of oak, delicate fruit notes – melon, white peach, citrus – with hints of acacia and anis. On the palate fine concentration, very finely focused minerality, more refined and elegant than the other Chassagne 1. crus from the domaine. Very nicely balanced, and while quite concentrated, it still feels very fresh and delicate. A beautiful wine.
(Drink from 2018) Very Fine – 93p
