Reviewed January 2025Scintillating acidity immediately races to the back of the palate, like lighting up a room. Fine scents of white pepper, ginger and juniper dally with yellow grapefruit and pomelo pith. The lacey palate feel is light, yet there is excellent flavor depth and mineral persistence through the enduring finish. This is Céline's favorite.
Take it home. Or give it a cellar.

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a very harmonious bouquet, fine mineralité and terroir expression and touches of oyster shell infusing the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced with a rounded texture. There's a fine silver bead of acidity here, a little richer in style, fanning out marvelously on the finish. This is excellent.(NM)

from Les Vignes Derrière). Smoky and vaguely exotic aromas include those of white peach, passion fruit, citrus confit and a hint of wet stone. There is evident minerality to the delicious middle weight flavors that possess a lovely texture before delivering excellent length on the balanced finale that, once again, could use better depth. One to consider.
