A fantastic white wine to enjoy during the evening. It starts of with a little closed nose and loads of minerality. The oak is superbly integrated and this gives the wine a delicate and elegant character. It never becomes to much, nice citrus undertones support the subtle aftertaste. This 2016 vintage is at his prime and a beautiful wine to enjoy over and over.

2016 was a tricky vintage in Chassagne Montrachet and Saint Aubin due to loss of shoots in the severe frost night of 26th of April, marking a very low yield vintage. The 2016 Caillerets offers a perfumed nose of reductive orchard fruits, glossy lemons, white flowers, textured lees and smart oak spices. PYCM’s Caillerets has notably more new oak spices than Caroline Morey’s Caillerets (which was made in the exact same style, just less new oak). Great energy and depth with explosive minerality (a signature of Caillerets). 2016 will need a lot more ageing, showing latent energy in the glass after an hour. Drink from 2027. (91/100)

Delicious - taut and energetic, with good persistence. I like this quite a bit.

PYCM & CM Chassagne Caillerets (Cabotte, London): Quite tight and minerally on the nose. Finely chalky. Grip. Long and lithe. ****1/2
