The Colin family has three quarters of En Cailleret apparently, this being the southern end of the whole Caillerets vineyard. The young vines are 40 years old, the old ones around 100! 2018 is the first year to achieve a full crop, 57 hl/ha. Light but full lemon. The bouquet suggests a mix of pyrazines and scorched pebbles which may indicate hydric stress. 12.8% alcohol here. This is intriguing because despite the earlier comments there is plenty of complexity behind though, with waves of flavour. I will need to try this again with time in bottle to work it out.
