Chassagne Montrachet, Les Caillerets, 1er Cru, 2021

Caillerets is, as you'd expect, much more intensely wrapped up in itself and needs a bit of time in the glass to open. Focused, long and crystalline, though quite discreet with it still. Salty and pure, with lovely sense of flowing length that implies good things to come. Salty and mineral more than opulent. With a little flesh gained with bottle time this should be lovely plus. Long and fine. 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, mineral and intense of Caroline Lestime's Chassagnes from her oldest vines (over 60 years old).
