Tasting notes
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets 1er Cru has a striking nose of red apples, yellow flowers and powdered chalk, all very well defined. The palate is well balanced with lime and orange cordial on the entry, a twist of sour lemon and a pleasant bitterness lending edge on the finish. This should age nicely in bottle.

Colin's 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En Cailleret—note the change in orthography—is showing very nicely, unwinding in the glass with scents of pear, orange oil, white flowers and clear honey. Medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it's satiny and incisive, with racy acids, chalky structuring extract and a long, mineral finish.
Cask sample. Interesting minerally, sappy nose. Real life here! Lots of pungent fruit with a green-herby overlay. Lots of depth. Serious wine. (JR)
