Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village has another expressive bouquet with yellow plum and white flower scents tinged with granitic aromas. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, quite tangy with a slightly austere finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle.
About the Producer
Domaine Lamy-Caillat is the secret garden of two passionate and talented bourguignons: Sébastien Caillat and Florence Lamy. This tiny estate of Lamy-Caillat and 1.2 hectares was founded in 2011 and rooted in Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Lamy-Caillat when the couple took over vineyards from an elderly neighbor who was looking to find winegrowers that would take good care of these terroirs.While the Lamy-Pillot wines are crafted in an accessible style, the couple wanted to attempt something more artisanal and minimally processed with their micro-domaine. Artisanal winemaking and, above all, long élevage is what defines this domaine, with the wines spending two winters on the lees before bottling by hand after natural clarification. “Small plots, Great care” is the motto here.
