The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru les Caillerets, one of the domaine's most propitious holdings, has a bewitching bouquet with orange zest, apricot blossom, flint and wet limestone scents that possess laser-like focus. The palate is very well balanced with superb mineralité and a powerful (again like Coche-Dury’s fellow Meursault wines this year) spicy finish that lingers on and on. This is a feisty Caillerets that will age with style and panache.
Pure and chewy and limpid, lively and with lots of energy. But has the acid for the long term. Very neat and masculine. Youthful, brisk and clean. (JR)
