The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets 1er Cru has a well-defined, sunny bouquet of orange pith and nectarine; an underlying mineralité comes through with aeration. The palate is taut, fresh and quite saline in the mouth, with a touch of sour lemon on a finish of moderate length. This feels quite backward but its energy suggests a long future. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2021)
