Four of the twenty barrels come from the first crop of a recent replanting in the 1er cru Caillerets. Clear pale colour, with very elegant fruit, this is a high class Chassagne-Montrachet from good white soil. A very good solid background to this, all white fruit, with a pleasing mineral punch. I suspect the elegance comes from the young vine Caillerets.
Bill Nanson "The Burgundy Report"
This used to be labelled Les Benoîtes but now includes (separately vinified) the young vines - actually the first harvest - from their Chassagne 1er Caillerets
A lovely width of more perfumed and floral aroma. Ooh - that’s lovely - mouth-filling with an airy freshness but at the same time deliciously flavoured. That a top, perfumed, delicious villages.
John Gilman "View from the Cellar"
The 2020 Chassagne villages bottling is definitely showing the addition of the younger vine fruit from Caillerets in it this year, as the wine is very refined aromatically, offering up scents of apple, pear, a fine base of chalky minerality, lemon blossoms and a deft touch of new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, bright and full, with fine focus and grip, zesty acids, a fine core of fruit and a long, soil-driven and quite elegant finish. 2023-2050.
