A pure and detailed nose of white peach, green melon, spearmint and flint. Great shape in the mouth, with a fruit sweet heart and excellent mineral detail. It is rich and sappy, beautifully balanced and finishes with cut and persistence.

Nose: [59°] Some fresh toast, halved green apples, ripe yellow pear with its unwashed skins, some grass/dry hay, a very subtle creamy vanilla note and finely crushed rocks.
Palate: [60°] Dark yellow fruit with clean and subtle minerals, a really nice and soft prickly spice that works really well, a loaf of bread that's been toasted, a bit of dry hay, branches and tree bark.
Attributes: Medium straw color. Dry with little amounts of supple tannin. Medium to medium-plus body with medium to medium-plus acidity. Good finish of about 16-18+ seconds.
Thoughts: Very enjoyable, good weight to this. There's this juiciness that keeps you wanting to drink more (kinda dangerous in my opinion). The fruit here is balanced well by the bitterness and juiciness. There's also some energy here that kinda teases me, making me wish there was just a bit more energy to this. It feels like it's a little torn between trying to be dense and refreshing.
Other notes: Burgundy glass. Slow-ox'ed in bottle for the duration of consumption of 2 hours.

Served by the glass. In my old days this was 'Bois de Chassagne', but regardless of the name on the label, at the moment this bottle is very similar to the freshly tasted Caillerets, that is, fresh, with limestone ore, citrus and peaches on the nose. In the mouth it is vibrant and meaty, with a great sensation of fruit pulp well balanced by a citric acidity and leaving a spicy final aftertaste. In ten years a jewel of a terroir not especially known.
Servido por copas. En mis viejos tiempos esto era Bois de Chassagne, pero independientemente del nombre en la etiqueta, en estos momentos está botella es muy similar al Caillerets recién catado, es decir, fresco, con mineral de caliza, cítricos y melocotones en nariz. En boca se muestra vibrante y carnoso, con una gran sensación de pulpa de fruta bien balanceada por una acidez cítrica y dejando un regusto final especiado. En diez años una joya de un terruño no especialmente conocido.

Very spicy, punchy nose. Cool and flecked with minerals. Some floral spice. Powerful and long with an unctuous feel.

Fresh aromas of green melon and white peach. There’s a fruit-sweet heart in the mouth and the finish is laden with chalk.
