  {Bought on release, PnP at Lenox Sophia with JL, CV, JR, sound cork} Initially reticent, took 15 minutes to start to open. Friends described it as dumb to start. Pale yellow. Acacia, citrus, hints of opulence in the nose, with super followthrough onto palate. Chassagne mix of ripe fruit and minerals with beautiful balance. Understated yet plush fruit that just kept opening and opening. Not a wine with a dramatic forepalate, like some Le Moines or Leflaives ... instead pure, precise, persistent, elegant, suave that slowly opened.
  
  Once home asked my spouse which wine she had liked tonight (also had 2010 Jamet Cote Rotie) and she liked this more; retried the short pour we had returned home with, and it had continued to improve. Easy 93 tonight and can imagine it being even better if allowed to breathe and served just short of room temperature. Class in a glass.

  What an impressive 1er, this was succulent and tense with lovely minerality. The kind of wine you can polish off a bottle very quickly before you even realize it's gone. Seems like this should hold at this excellent level at least a few years, a no-brainer re-buy.

  Dégustation Chassagne Caillerets 2017 (Île Bizarre): Joli nez citronné. Bouche plus ronde que le précédent, avec un peu plus d’élevage. très saline. Jolie finale en finesse, de bonne longueur. Belle bouteille, sans toutefois la même profondeur que le précédent. 92 pts

  刚开始闻起来香气还比较内敛，有着比较明显的淡奶油和矿物味，有些柠檬、青苹果、菠萝、柑橘之类的味道，果味修长，颜色较浅，但足够成熟，还带一点雏菊之类的花香。中后段点缀着烘烤的见过芝麻。入口集中度不错，酸度较高，比较有线条感，显得整体偏清瘦。果味结实清晰，也比较细致，青苹果、菠萝、黄油桃、葡萄柚、柠檬等，略带一丝咸味，和一点黄油、香草和烘烤味构成后段。91/100

  Delicious.
  
  Unmistakeable scent of Chassagne/ chardonnay grown in mineral rich limestone soils, the dusty chalk infused perfume prompts the palate for the bright, tart, citrus inflected taste to follow. Rich in flavor, but light on the tongue; long lasting flavors that grow even richer in the mind.
  
  Wonderful.
  
  Rated +2 on a scale of -1 to +3.
