Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc, 1Er Cru Les Caillerets - 2005 - Domaine Jean-Marc Morey
Ref: A019705
Much more tightly knit and restrained than the other of this domaine's 1er Crus - then it always is. Enormous structure, perfect balance and a seamless, unending finish make this a true classic. Les Caillerets is always one of Jean-Marc Morey's most intensely concentrated 1er Cru wines. This is a phenomenally concentrated and complex wine. The flavours are highly charges with exotic lime fresh fruit and apricot and peachy freshness. It has incredible length and will last for many years. Drink 2010 to 2016.

Jean-Marc, now ably assisted by his daughter, Caroline, is really back on form. After a run of tragedies in the early 1990’s (when he lost his wife to a tragic illness and, shortly after, an old friend and employee was killed in a tractor accident) Jean-Marc has rebuilt his life and has re-emerged as one of the leading lights in the village of Chassagne.

Using only indigenous yeasts for the fermentation, maximum lees-contact prior to the first racking, 15% new oak casks and, above all, early bottling in September, this father and daughter team have managed to achieve a range of whites that exhibit a purity of rich fruit (coupled with a mouth-tingling freshness) that is rare to find.

We have been buying Jean-Marc's wines since the early 1980's and our loyalty to this remarkable wine maker is second-to-none. A visit to his cellars is always a lengthy affair, not only because he has such an array of wines to taste but really due to his infectious sense of humour and broad knowledge of the world of wine-making. J-M eschews the press and believes firmly in his long-established customer base. He must be taking the right approach as it is impossible to get an allocation of his wines unless you are 'part of the club'! Another wine maker who is brilliant at making white or red wines, as the six wines in this offer are testament to.
