soft-textured and refreshing

especially in a classic vintage such as this

Lots of toasty oak on the back end but this is in balance with the fruit that drives the palate

The tannins are firm yet well integrated

Jean Noel Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Caillerets Vintage:2023 soft-textured and refreshing(from 35+ year old vines). This is almost always the best 1er in the range and so it is again in 2017 with its restrained and ultra fresh nose of citrus, mineral reduction, white flower and soft spice elements. Here too the middle weight flavors are quite racy though with much more minerality that really emerges on the beautifully persistent finish where the firm core of ripe acidity makes clear that this beauty is going to require patience.
