Winemaker Notes
A wine to age by definition, Les Caillerets needs 7 or 8 years after the harvest to show its best. After this period is over, it will only improve and can easily be kept for 10-15 years, or longer.

Wine Spectator
A big, opulent white, packed with lemon, peach, baking spice and mineral flavors, backed by vibrant acidity, with a finish that goes on and on. There is a lot of complexity and nuance here in addition to power. Best from 2020 through 2030.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Chassagne Montrachet 1Er Cru Caillerets has a stony, quite austere bouquet at first that needed encouragement from the glass. There is a touch of apricot blossom developing with time though it feels tight-lipped at the moment. The palate is lively with orange zest on the entry, very focused with mineral drive, almost a Chablis-like finish. One of those cases where less is more - watch out for this once in bottle.
Range: 90-92
