Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets Jean-Noël Gagnard 2017 is a Premier Cru white Burgundy from one of Chassagne most-esteemed vineyards. The nose reveals a subtle interplay of minerality, characterised by flint and chalky notes that underplay the ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine exhibits a fine, stony character with a persistent salinity, showcasing the precision of the vineyard. This wine, cultivated under organic principles, reflects Gagnard`s commitment to quality versus quantity. With careful cellaring, this wine is expected to evolve significantly between now and 2035.

The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has the richest nose of the five examples served blind from this climat, featuring pineapple, orange zest, touches of mango and later honeysuckle and chamomile, all very attractive and perfumed. The palate is well balanced with good density and weight, offering mango, passion fruit and stem ginger notes. Powerful, weighty and concentrated; what it lacks in subtlety is compensated by flavor. This will be difficult to resist in its youth, but I believe the terroir will percolate through with time. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.
