(92-95 points) All lemon rather than lime in colour. A lovely classy nose, not showing too much ripeness, picked on 8th September at 14.2%. Softly ripe, but very pleasing, there is a thick layer of sweet ripe fruit, then a few grapefruit notes to keep the balance. Long and mouth-filling, with the requisite stony feel, but flesh takes the lead.

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets has turned out brilliantly in bottle. Mingling aromas of citrus zest, pear and mandarin orange with notions of nutmeg, freshly baked bread and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and incisive, with prodigious levels of concentration, racy acids and chalky structuring extract. This chiseled, penetrating Caillerets has fulfilled all its promise. - William Kelley

(92-94 points) An exuberantly fresh and expressive nose speaks of just sliced lemon, lime and passion fruit with hints of fennel and white peach. The beautifully textured, intense and overtly mineral-driven flavors possess fine mid-palate density while exhibiting outstanding persistence on the firm, balanced and built-to-age finale. While not especially austere at present, this wine makes clear that it's going to need at least some time in bottle first.

This is from a parcel at the western end of the vineyard known as En Cailleret, located at the top of the slope, between 280-300m, where the topsoil thinly covers the limestone. As a consequence, the wine leans strongly to the lemony peel and chalk end of the spectrum. However, in 2019 it is not lacking a bit of flesh because of the heat of the year. A marvellous success, with exquisite balance and length.
