Domaine Bachelet-Ramonet Père et Fils Les Caillerets Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 2021

The 2021 vintage saw a small volume of white wine produced, but the quality is superb, with Chassagne-Montrachet being called ‘… the most dynamic appellation in the Côte de Beaune’ by Neal Martin of vinous.com in his 2021 Burgundy report (Jan. 5, 2023). Les Caillerets premier cru site was identified in 1855. The vineyard contains marl-limestone, clay-marl, sand, and the small pebbles from which it takes its name. This wine shows lifted white floral notes with layered, complex peach, pear, a touch of beeswax, and fine minerality. It has the potential to drink into the mid-to-late 2030s.
