Chassagne Montrachet, Les Caillerets, 1er Cru, 2014

Available Vintages
justerini & brooks tasting note

Tightly wound and intense, even an element of austerity here as markedly rocky notes meet crystallised lime and hazelnut. Typically Caillerets in its focus and intensity and undoubtedly the most chiselled of Caroline's cuvees. Situated at the southern end of the "en Caillerets" sector Caroline's vines are planted on a steep slope of shallow pebbly soils with a fine south east exposure. The most precise and intense of Caroline Lestimée’s Chassagnes from her oldest vines (over 60 years old.)

critic reviews

92/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

Bright, pale yellow. Highly aromatic nose combines orange zest and crushed stone. The broadest of these 2014 samples but energized by mineral-driven acidity and a strong salty quality. Finishes firm-edged and long, with subtle orange-y sweetness and crushed-rock minerality.
