Reviews & Scores
The 2015 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets is excellent, wafting from the glass with a youthfully reserved bouquet of white flowers, lemon oil, struck match and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, tensile and complete, with excellent depth at the core, terrific purity, and chalky grip on the long, beautifully balanced and searingly intense finish. This is still somewhat withdrawn after its April 2017 bottling, but it has all the elements for greatness with some bottle age. - WA

Pale, bright yellow. Precise but restrained aromas of underripe pineapple, lime oil and crushed rock. Wonderfully sappy wine with citrus oil and stone flavors and a strong impression of acidity that's atypical for the vintage. Extremely long, penetrating, perfumed flavors of lemon and crushed rock give the finish a light touch. This wine comes from the family's vineyard at the top of the cru; Colin describes it as "the Chassagne-Montrachet to age. (ST) - VM

Pierre-Yves' Chassagne Caillerets is one of the greatest premier cru white Burgundies in all the Côte, fit to stand alongside the likes of Coche-Dury's Meursault Perrières. A classic and restrained Caillerets nose of citrus oil, white flowers, crushed limestone and vanilla bean introduces a glossy wine of incredible concentration, depth and searing minerality. It has lost none of its customary precision in this warm vintage. Drinking Window 2020 - 2050.(WK) - DC

Yet the Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets was a step up, very intense and complex, boasting ripe peach, apple, spice and mineral notes matched to a silky texture.(BS) - WS
