Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru les Caillerets is initially tightly-wound and seemed unapologetically broody...not for long. It suddenly springs up a scent of liquorice and musters subtle tropical notes drenched in minerals, so that eventually it blossoms and turns into an extravagant bouquet, more so than the Meursault Rougeot. It settles down with orange blossom and apricot infused with cold wet grey slate. The palate is well balanced with superb acidity. It is overtly spicy and vigorous, infused with ginger and lemon rind, later a touch of grilled almond on the very persistent finish. This is an outstanding Meursault Caillerets for long-term drinking pleasure.
