2018 Chassagne-Montrachet, Les Caillerets, 1er Cru, Bernard Moreau & Fils, Burgundy

The 2018 white burgundy vintage is all over the map, with some wines already drinking well and others remaining compact and undemonstrative. This lovely effort is somewhere between the two with its nose of mildly exotic white peach, white flower and hint of rosemary oil. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality on the well-detailed, complex and lingering finish that is clean and quite dry as well as sneaky long. This is a balanced wine of focused power that should amply reward mid-term cellaring yet it's not so backward that it couldn't be enjoyed now if desired.Drink from 2026 onwardallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (October 2022)

Les Caillerets consistently produces some of Chassagne-Montrachet's freshest and most ethereal Premiers Crus, reflecting the high percentage of limestone in its soils. This combines saline acidity with assertive aromatic oak, plenty of leesy, spicy, stone and citrus fruit concentration and a racy, palate-cleansing finish. You can almost taste the rock here.Drink 2022 - 2030Tim Atkin MW, Decanter.com (October 2019)
