Tasting notes
The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a delightful bouquet with orchard fruit, beeswax and honeysuckle aromas. It is very precise and focused. The palate is fabulous: it shows a killer line of acidity, taut and energetic, with a sense of frisson towards the finish. It dares to outclass the 2014 Grande Montagne! Tasted at Stannery Wines' producer tasting in London.

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Chassagne Montrachet 1Er Cru les Caillerets has a sophisticated and tensile nose, shimmering citrus fruit, granite and smoke aromas, a little terse at first, it soon loses its aloofness and becomes very engaging. The palate is very well balanced with a silver bead of acidity that cuts through the lightly honeyed fruit. There is impressive focus here, likewise impressive length, completing this class act. It may warrant a higher score with further bottle age. Tasted May 2016.
Real intensity on the nose here. Lemon and correct. Still with some astringency. Not thrilling though. (JR)
