En Cailleret Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay

Yum balanced new oak good mineral

In Napa drinking French wine. Go figure...

2013 vintage. Decanted and tasted at various temps from roughly 37 degrees to 70 degrees. The brilliant yellow Chartreuse color in the decanter was more breathtaking than the glorious sunset visible from the table. Had the same vintage/same producer two weeks before but it was from the Morgeot plot (9.4). That one had slightly less acidity and 'minerality' but more thrust and body along with another 4-5 years of excellent drinking. This one goes a little farther and suspect it spans 7-8 years of not so hard time. Always been a big fan of Cailleret juice. Wowzers. 03.19.25.

Le peu que j’aie bu m’a beaucoup plu, le terroir minéral est bien présent

From 375. Checks all the right boxes.

375 and strutting!

From 375ml and showing quite nicely.... Verve with excellent mid-palate and finish.

Loved this wine

From 375ml

Certes, encore jeune mais avec beaucoup de tension, de minéralité et encore des notes de boisé, belle complexité !
