FEATURES
🏰 The 2018 Lamy Caillat Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru is a precise and concentrated white 布根地 wine. Domaine Lamy-Caillat is a highly regarded, small producer known for crafting Chassagne-Montrachet wines that express their terroir with precision and elegance. Les Caillerets is a prestigious Premier Cru vineyard, known for producing rich, tight, and harmonious wines from shallow, pebbly marl soils. The 2018 vintage in 布根地 was generally very good, with a hot, dry growing season. On the nose, it's clean and precise, with detailed crushed stone/limestone aromas intermingling with yellow plum, apple blossom, quince, white flowers, Anjou pear, fresh peach, fresh pastry, and flinty reduction. The palate is very energetic and nervous on the entry, nicely balanced with a keen spine of acidity. It's medium to full-bodied, deep and satiny, with lovely mid-palate amplitude and a lively, saline finish, showing notes of lime, apple, lychee, baking powder, mandarin, and yellow fruit. It's described as a wine of concentration, precision, and discretion, with volume and power without excess weight. The wines undergo a long élevage (24 months) and are hand-bottled without filtration. 【 A precise and concentrated Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru from the esteemed Les Caillerets vineyard, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of Lamy-Caillat. 】
🍴 This superb white Burgundy is excellent with roasted chicken or turkey, rich fish dishes (e.g., halibut, cod with butter sauce), scallops, creamy risottos, and aged Comté or Gruyère cheese.
🥂 A superb choice for a celebratory meal, a fine dining experience, or a 布根地 tasting. This wine has excellent aging potential and will continue to develop complexity over the next decade or more.
