  Two weeks in France; 4/12/2024-4/24/2024: What was most immediately apparent about this wine was the concentration on both the nose and palate. Deep, perfumed nose of pure fruit without oak or reduction which isn’t common in Burgundy whites. Intense, mineral and ripe stone fruit with plenty of dry extract; had much tension that it felt like drinking battery acid. Tried the leftovers at dinner but didn’t show differently to lunch. Quite a singular wine which I think explains the prices, but not sure if it is fully warranted. Interestingly the somm Yasuke (who I completely trust after our conversations and apparently has the best palate in Lyon) said that Lamy-Caillat reminds him of old Ramonet.

  Lovely, flinty nose with lemon notes, minerals, white pepper, and nice depth and weight. Nice acidity on the palate with lemon zest, apple, lots of minerals, and citrus notes. Very long finish. Incredibly beautiful and elegant wine. There is plenty of ripeness but it never feels heavy and the fruit is bright. Drinking so good already!
