The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets marries notes of citrus oil and white flowers with aromas of pear and peach. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy, it reveals fine depth at the core and promising chalky grip to balance its mid-palate fat.

Offering up aromas of apple blossom, crisp orchard fruit, dried white flowers and honeycomb, the lovely 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is medium to full-bodied, satiny and expansive, with a lovely line of animating acidity, a deep core and a long, pure finish.

The 2016 Chassagne Montrachet 1Er Cru les Caillerets had the highest natural alcohol level of the Chassagnes. There is fine mineralité on the nose, quite tensile with a subtle marine influence coming through with time. The palate is well balanced with a viscous opening, good energy here and the mineralité flourishing and lending tension all the way through to the finish, ginger on the aftertaste. This is the best premier cru from the domaine apart from their La Boudriotte.

The 2015 Chassagne Montrachet 1Er Cru Caillerets has a stony, quite austere bouquet at first that needed encouragement from the glass. There is a touch of apricot blossom developing with time though it feels tight-lipped at the moment. The palate is lively with orange zest on the entry, very focused with mineral drive, almost a Chablis-like finish. One of those cases where less is more - watch out for this once in bottle.

The 2014 Chassagne-Montrachet 1Er Cru Caillerets has a little more exoticism on the nose, a touch more plushness than the Boudriotte with hints of limestone and chalk overlaid by yellow plum and citrus scents. The palate is finely balanced, that limestone terroir articulated through the wine and lending great tension on the finish. Yet another extraordinarily promising Chassagne-Montrachet from Fontaine-Gagnard.
