Domaine Fontaine Gagnard Chassagne Montrachet 'Les Caillerets' Premier Cru 2021
The subtlety of Caillerets lies in the balance created by the minerality of the upper part of the plot, and the richness of its lower part, often offering spicy aromas.
92 Points - Burghound
Enough wood to comment on sets off the borderline exotic aromas of orange peel, white peach, exotic tea and a hint of pineapple. The rich and very generous medium-bodied flavors once again brim with sappy dry extract where an evident bead of minerality adds a sense of lift to the very dry finish that is shaped by citrus-tinged acidity. This has the stuffing to age but is sufficiently pliant to be enjoyable young as well.
