2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets, Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils

2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets, Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils

This magnificent wine is only made in tiny quantities. It has an incredible lemon verbena note on the nose, with just a twist of dried honey. There is superb precision on the palate, vibrant and mouthwatering. This complexity is no surprise, given that Les Caillerets is one of the finest sites in the village, with particularly stony soils, producing tense, vibrant, acid-driven wines.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has quite a primal grapefruit and crushed stone scented bouquet that takes time to unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with orange rind and citrus peel, quite spicy, especially towards the finish with touches of stem ginger. One of Moreau’s finest articulations in terroir in 2020.
