2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets, Alex Moreau

2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets, Alex Moreau

This magnificent wine is only made in tiny quantities. There is superb precision on the palate, which is vibrant and mouth watering with a chalky structure. 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

A pale primrose. The nose is more about the stones than the fruit. Quite crunchy fruit on the palate, a little but rigid at the moment. First suggestions of yellow plums, and good length. Still a baby and longer elevage may bring this out further. Drink from 2028-2037. Tasted: November 2023.
