Note di degustazione
The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru mutates in the glass, some initial blowsiness rapidly dissipating to reveal lovely yellow stone fruit and minerals. The oak is nicely enmeshed here. The palate initially has a lot of reduction, although this soon disappears to reveal a beautifully balanced wine with a long, mineral-driven finish. I was glad I revisited this wine after ten minutes, so decanting is advised. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Tasted blind, this was also a very strong showing for Pillot's 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets. Aromas of lemon oil, mandarin and nutmeg mingle with hints of petrol and crushed chalk in a complex bouquet, introducing a medium-bodied, tense and stony wine with racy acids and a mouthwatering, unmistakably stony finish.
More stony than the straight Chassagne. Then, like the village wine, spreads across the palate in creamy depth. Intense with lots of tension and tight promise. (JH)
