A wine of great finesse showing bright lemony fruit with hints of acacia flowers and marzipan on the nose. On the palate the wine retains admirable acidity and an effortless lightness on the finish. Caillerets is actually an umbrella for grapes from En Caillerets Combards Chassagne and Vigne Derrière; Jean-Noël Gagnard is in the first two lieux-dits. Caroline Lestimé remarked that the vines suffered incredibly from the heat in 2020 and ripening was blocked for a time although she considers this a 'top-level' premier cru.

Fine pale lemon with a very distinct Caillerets nose - all the stones you could want - to support the pure white fruit. Impeccable density on the palate now including some bright yellow plum fruit racy acidity layers on layers here boding well for the future. Perfect balancing acidity this has the power to age extremely well.

This impeccably well-balanced effort should also

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet with yellow plum and light Mirabelle scents the oak here neatly integrated. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity good weight and density waxy and with touches of lemon curd on the finish. Very fine. (Drink between 2024-2040)
