This is actually quite aromatically similar to the Caillerets but with the interesting difference that the nose is markedly more restrained, which isn't necessarily a bad thing in such a young wine, but it is a notable departure from its stablemate. There is more volume, mid-palate density and richness if a bit less vivacity to the utterly delicious and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that flash plenty of minerality on the long, serious and firm finale where the warmth is a bit more prominent. This opulent yet focused effort already possesses outstanding depth though the warmth is not subtle so I would suggest serving it on the cooler side. I would further note that the finish is a bit less tightly wound and while that doesn't mean it's ready for prime time, I suspect that it will drink pretty well after only 3 to 4 years of bottle aging. Drink: 2025+ Note: a monopole of the domaine
One of the highlights of the range is the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets, a striking wine that soars from the glass with scents of green pear, orange oil, marzipan, drawn butter and lemon. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and textural but incisive, with racy acids, good depth and tension at the core and a long, chalky finish. 2023 - 2045
