Tasting notes
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is beautiful, mingling aromas of pear and orange zest with notions of freshly baked bread, white flowers and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's concentrated and serious, with racy acids, chalky structuring extract and a long, penetrating finish. This will reward a bit of bottle age.

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Le Cailleret 1er Cru shows a little more reduction on the nose than the Morgeots, although there is good concentration here. The palate is quite vibrant on the entry with lemon zest, quince and a touch of orange pith. Plenty of energy, well focused with a saline finish, this is a fine Chassagne from Girardin.
