Tasting notes
Crystalline aromas and flavors of lime and minerals. Silky, utterly primary and weightless, communicating outstanding precision and mineral cut. A wine of great class but a baby today. Extremely long and sappy on the aftertaste.

This has the texture of a red wine with a light phenolic character that gives it depth and beauty. Full body, lots of dried fruits and a long, gorgeous finish. Great density.
The 2013 Chassagne Montrachet Caillerets 1er Cru has a backward nose, reluctantly revealing sea spray and chalky scents, more mineral than fruit. The palate is fresh and crisp, citrus fruit mixed with orange rind and spice, fanning out wonderfully on the finish in controlled fashion. It's the elder brother of the Chassagne La Romanée '13.
