"The 2014 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets from Domaine Lamy-Caillat unfurls in the glass with a youthfully reticent bouquet of lime, pastry cream, pear, dried white flowers and stuck match, framed by light reduction. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and tight-knit at the core, with lovely purity, a bright line of acidity, chewy extract and a long, searingly chalky finish. This is one cellar where it's hard to choose between the 2015 and 2014 vintages, but while they're qualitatively similar, the 2014 is the more taut of the two and the year that will most demand cellaring to realize all its considerable potential."

Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
2014 in Burgundy is a benchmark white vintage, tense, fresh and mineral, though Cote de Beaune hail cut yields; the reds are balanced and classically proportioned, with good freshness and medium-term aging potential.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
