It seems as though 2016 white Burgundy is starting to be coming around, whereas the vintage was once a bit awkward and often showed disjointed. ‘Micro’ Domaine Lamy-Caillat is really making fantastic wines and being so elusive, it was great to spot on the excellent list at Daniel. A gentle decant gives it the little kick that it needs to intensify its green apple and rich yellow fruit expression along with a spice tinged, saline and smoky mineral infliction. The palate shows great concentration, density and textural richness and the full bodied opulence of the La Romanée site is cut seamlessly by its zippy citrusy acid spine. Gimme more Lamy Caillat!
