open and fruity

a wine that ultimately is produced only about once every four years or so

The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins

The nose seemed to have closed down since I last encountered it in 2012

a wonderfully broad array of spice elements

Jean-Marc Blain-Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Caillerets Size:12x750ml open and fruity(from Vigne Derrire). Notes of petrol, citrus, pear and a whiff of tangerine peel combine to serve as a pretty introduction to the round, delicious and relatively forward flavors that possess a succulent mouthfeel where the richness is offset by an agreeably dry and persistent saline inflected finish. This isnt a classic example of a steely Caillerets but rather one that should drink well young and repay a few years of cellaring too.
