2020 Domaine Blain-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets Premier Cru
Other Reviews....
A more elegant if vaguely exotic nose features notes of white peach, spice and lemon confit. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors display good muscle and power on the stony, chalky and sneaky long finish. Note that this lovely effort is sufficiently tightly wound to require at least 5 years of keeping and should reward up to a decade of it. Drink from 2028+.

Round, complete and marvellous, yet does not lack the pleasant tension that carries it to the next level. The nose features a combination of citrus and tropical fruit that reflects the nature of Caillerets as a 'millefeuille de calcaire' in the words of Jean-Marc Blain. The parcel in Caillerets stretches all along the lieu-dit, from the white marls at the top of the slop to the darker terres rouges near Boudriotte. The holding totals 0.56ha. Drink 2023 - 2040.
