Tasting notes
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is lovely, opening in the glass with aromas of mandarin oil, lime, Anjou pear, fresh mint and toasted almonds. Medium to full-bodied, layered and muscular, it's concentrated and racy, with lively acids and chalky structuring extract, concluding with a saline finish.

Fermented mostly in 350-litre oak (one new barrel out of three), plus one three-year-old 228-litre barrel. Vines from his father. Extreme west of the premier cru and high up. Barrel sample. Slightly honeyed citrus aroma even a touch of green fig. Intense streak of pure citrus on the palate. Direct and driving across the palate. Almost sour in its citrus character but perfectly balanced with the depth of the fruit. Long, long. Lovely touch of toast at the very end. (JH)
