Lamy-Caillat Chassagne-Montrachet (2018)

Zusätzliche Information

Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

90-92+/100 PP

'Hints of almond paste, freshly baked bread and green orchard fruit introduce the 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Village, a medium to full-bodied, long and concentrated wine with a lively spine of acidity and chalky structuring extract. This is very promising. Readers will remember that this bottling is produced from the lieu-dit Pot Bois, located just above 1er Cru Les Caillerets and turned to the east, and it's worth emphasizing that this terroir is quite different from the lower-lying, deeper soils that characterize much of the communal appellation in Chassagne.

As I wrote last year, readers as yet unfamiliar with Domaine Lamy-Caillat, a tiny estate that ranks as one of the Côte de Beaune's most exciting new addresses, should refer to my profile in the Wine Advocate's Interim End of March 2018 report. Artisanal winemaking and, above all, long, patient élevage is what defines this domaine, with the wines spending two winters on the lees before bottling by hand after natural clarification. The wines evolve at their own pace, and the meticulous Sébastien Caillat devotes immense attention to every detail. I hope other Côte de Beaune winemakers will be tempted to emulate his methods, as the results speak for themselves. His 2017s have turned out brilliantly, confirming their status as the domaine's best vintage to date, and the 2018s are also very promising. Excitingly, several new appellations have already joined the portfolio, and they are reported on in the accompanying notes.'

'Domaine Lamy-Caillat is the most exciting producer of white Burgundy that you’ve never heard of. And one thing is certain: as this domaine wins the recognition it deserves, bottles of Lamy-Caillat are only going to become ever harder to find.'
(Robert Parkers Wine Advocate, März 2018)

'Parcel located just above Les Caillerets, with colder temperatures due to its slightly more easterly exposure, producing pure, very straight wines.'
