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.

The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Cailleret 1er Cru from Domaine Lamy-Caillat is outstanding. Subtle white chocolate and struck match notes complement the citrus fruit, developing spine-tingling mineralité but only after 45-50 minutes. The palate is poised and tensile, with discrete walnut and hazelnut notes emerging with time, extremely harmonious on the finish that lingers tenderly in the mouth. Magnificent, though again, don’t be afraid to give it a short decant.
