Unwinding in the glass with notes of Anjou pear, spring flowers, blanched almonds, citrus zest and white peach, the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is full-bodied, deep and incisive, with a layered but tight-knit core that's built around racy acids and chalky dry extract, concluding with a long, searingly mineral finish. This might be the finest wine produced at Domaine Lamy-Caillat to date.
Very slightly paler in colour and with a suitably chiselled nose, a little bit of fresh almond, white fruit, and the expected sinews behind. This is the product of old vines which run from top to bottom of the vineyard. This has real style as well as density, and while it is very easy to see where this will go, it will take quite a few years to get there! A superbly delineated linear wine with exceptional persistence.
