2022 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Les Caillerets, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, France 1.5L

A vague whiff of exotic character lurks in the background of the aromas of citrus confit, white peach, spice and discreet flora scents. There is excellent volume to the caressing and seductive yet tension-filled flavors that deliver very fine length on the overtly stony, firm and built-to-age finale. This balanced effort could be approached young with pleasure but the upside development potential is evident.

The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is concentrated and mineral, offering up aromas of pear, orange zest, hazelnut, white flowers and buttered toast, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate built around a racy spine of acidity and concluding with a mineral finish.
