The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets offers up aromas of citrus zest, orange oil and crisp stone fruit mingled with freshly baked bread, white flowers and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, multidimensional and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with racy acids and chalky structuring dry extract. It's worth a special effort to seek out.

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets has turned out brilliantly in bottle. Mingling aromas of citrus zest, pear and mandarin orange with notions of nutmeg, freshly baked bread and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and incisive, with prodigious levels of concentration, racy acids and chalky structuring extract. This chiseled, penetrating Caillerets has fulfilled all its promise.

Always one of the highlights of the portfolio, Pierre-Yves Colin's 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets unwinds in the glass with scents of citrus zest, white flowers, blanched almonds, crisp green apple and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and concentrated, with tangy acids, chalky structuring extract, and a long, precise finish.

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is lovely, opening in the glass with aromas of mandarin oil, lime, Anjou pear, fresh mint and toasted almonds. Medium to full-bodied, layered and muscular, it's concentrated and racy, with lively acids and chalky structuring extract, concluding with a saline finish.

Consistently one of Pierre-Yves Colin's best wines, and one produced from vines he owns and farms himself, the 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets exhibits notes of citrus zest, white flowers, struck match and crushed chalk. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with beautiful structural finesse and a bright, tangy line of acidity, concluding with a saline finish. Pierre-Yves observers more than two-thirds of the vines are 70 years old and that the remainder are 30 years old.

The 2015 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets is excellent, wafting from the glass with a youthfully reserved bouquet of white flowers, lemon oil, struck match and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, tensile and complete, with excellent depth at the core, terrific purity, and chalky grip on the long, beautifully balanced and searingly intense finish. This is still somewhat withdrawn after its April 2017 bottling, but it has all the elements for greatness with some bottle age.

The 2015 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets has a clean and crisp bouquet with granite and fumé aromas filtering through the citrus fruit, perhaps more reserved in style compared to other Chassagnes at the moment. The palate is well balanced with green apple, Conference pear and a pinch of white pepper. It offers very good weight on the finish with impressive persistence. This is excellent.

The 2011 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets comes from Pierre-Yves’s parents and lies at one of the highest altitudes in the lieu-dit. It has a strict, linear, limestone, lemon thyme and powdered chalk bouquet that gains vigor in the glass, developing hints of nectarine and mango with continued swirling. It is tightly wound on the front palate. Rather, it is all happening at the back with gorgeous peach, apricot and lemongrass notes. It is quite exotic and almost Alsace-like in its spiciness on the long, delineated finish. Excellent! Drink 2014-2024. Following last issue’s “amuse bouche,” I could not miss an opportunity to visit Pierre-Yves at his winery in the village of Chassagne to take a look at his 2011s. “I like the 2011s because they give a lot of pleasure when they are young,” he said to me. “But I think they could age very well. The wines are on the ripe side – a bit like 2001 or maybe 2002. But I think it is a complete vintage. Personally, I prefer 2010 which is more on the mineral side, but the 2011s appeal to a wider audience, and in a way, bring people to Burgundy. When the customers come to the estate, they seem to have never heard about the 2011 vintage and so they do not know what to expect. But when they taste them they were quite easy to sell.” Pierre-Yves 2011s do not disappoint, mostly imbued with the delineation and poise we have come to expect from this top-tier producer who demonstrates that you do not necessarily have to own all your vines to create exceptional wines. We briefly discussed his move away from new oak and he admitted that perhaps during his initial vintages he was trying to impress. That is only natural. He has retreated from the cooperage to employ a minimal amount of new wood and things are about to change again. He had just taken delivery of two 11-hectolitre wooden troconic tanks that he will trial with the 2013 vintage, probably on one of the St. Aubin wines such as En Remilly. I cannot wait to taste the results. The Chassagne-Montrachets underwent a longer elevage than the St. Aubins and were bottled two months prior to my visit in July 2013.

The 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets bursts from the glass with an intense, explosive personality. Layers of finely sculpted fruit give way to clean, mineral notes on the crystalline finish. A hint of oak lingers, but there is plenty of time for the wine to come together. Anticipated maturity: 2016+. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is one of Burgundy’s most exciting young producers. Colin-Morey works with six hectares of vineyards, three of which are estate owned, while the rest are sources of purchased fruit. According to Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, the key to 2009 was picking early. The harvest started on the September 4. Colin-Morey did a long, slow press, with no batonnage once the wines were in barrel, all with the aim of preserving as much freshness as possible given the natural ripeness of the fruit. Roughly 80% of the wines were aged in 350-liter barrels, larger than the norm in Burgundy. Colin-Morey finished bottling the 2009s in April 2011. Colin-Morey told me he wasn’t enthused about the 2009s at first, but now thinks the wines have enough freshness to age well. A Daniel Johnnes Selection, imported by Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.

The 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets is another frank, immediate wine. It has plenty of depth and no shortage of power, but offers a bit less in the way of finesse. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. Pierre-Yves Colin and Caroline Morey follow their stunning 2009s with an equally compelling set of 2010s. The 2010s have deep site-specific signatures, rich fruit and plenty of acidity. Fans of this small, but increasingly high profile address will want to flock to these wines. Pierre Yves Colin started picking on September 22. Yields were down just 5-10%, which is pretty remarkable considering the vintage. It was a difficult vintage in the cellar, as malos were late and slow. When I visited last June, virtually all of the wines were still finishing their malos. With the exception of the St. Aubins, the 2010s spent about 18 months in barrel. The St. Aubins were bottled in November 2011. All of the other 2010s were bottled in April 2012. The 2011s, which I tasted from barrel, are very promising, so there is a lot to look forward to.

The 2009 Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets presents a more up-front, juicy expression of fruit. This is quite soft, round and pleasing but has just a touch less overall complexity than the other Chassagnes I tasted. In exchange, though, it should drink well pretty much right out of the gate. I especially like the soft, polished personality here. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is one of Burgundy’s most exciting young producers.

Colin’s 2007 Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets offers a fascinating contrast and dynamic counterpoint of enervating brightness with satiny, borderline creamy texture; and of high-toned pit fruit and herbal distillates, luscious citrus, white peach, and liquid honeysuckle perfume with chalky, smoky mineral (and lees- and oak-inflected) elements. Superbly refined, with its rich fruit utterly transparent to myriad mineral and floral and herbal nuances, this finishes with a fine alliance of refreshment and complexity. Look for it to be even more satisfying in a couple of years, and to justify 6-8 total in bottle. Pierre-Yves Colin – who openly pledges allegiance to Riesling virtues – does more than just talk the talk of achieving ripe fruit at low levels of potential alcohol. Finished alcohols in his collection – after half a percent or so of chaptalization – range from a (for modern times almost astonishing) 11.75% up to 12.75%. “I really can’t say,” he confesses, “why so many growers were getting fruit of 12.5% or more potential alcohol already at the end of August,” ten days before Colin even began picking, but he can say he doubts their fruit tasted ripe then! Half of the acreage he accesses is in Saint-Aubin – naturally conducive to later ripening – and was not picked until past mid-September this year. Colin believes in minimal settling, by gravity, and retaining lots of lees, but not in actively working them; favors rapid pressing, and 350- (one-third new) over 225-liter barrels; and welcomes late and protracted malo-lactic conversions – although this vintage's malos were completed by the following June. He bottled his Saint-Aubin crus at just over a year; his other premier crus this past March; and the grands crus (of which I was unfortunately unable to taste the Chevalier-Montrachet) in May, sealing them all with wax, in the belief that this will provide extra protection against harmful oxygen ingress. For myriad further details on this relatively new estate and its rapidly-growing family of wines – nearly half of which are from contract fruit – readers are urged to consult my report in issue 180, where – having up until then not seen a label – I inadvertently left-off the “-Morey” from the winery name A Daniel Johnnes Selection imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY, tel.

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is terrific, unwinding in the glass with notes of waxy citrus rind, white flowers, freshly baked bread and vanilla pod.

The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is concentrated and mineral, offering up aromas of pear, orange zest, hazelnut, white flowers and buttered toast, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate built around a racy spine of acidity and concluding with a mineral finish.

The 2014 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets has that quintessential white Burgundy on limestone soil nose with hints of chalk and flint developing with aeration, all with fine precision and impressive intensity. The palate is fresh and vibrant, a keen bitter edge like the 2014 Baudines, perhaps with great tension and nervosity towards the finish. This deserves a couple of years in bottle after bottling next year. Excellent.

From one of Pierre-Yves Colin's finest domaine holdings, the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets offers up aromas of noisette, white flowers, beeswax, Anjou pear and crushed chalk. On the medium to full-bodied palate, the wine is quite closed but extremely promising, revealing a deep, concentrated core framed by tangy acids and chalky dry extract, concluding with a long, penetrating finish.

The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets has a perfumed floral bouquet with touches of dried quince emerging with aeration coupled with dried honey and nettle. The palate is very well-balanced with a slightly peppery opening. It is very well-balanced and demonstrates superb transparency and weightlessness, yet the finish is very intense with that marine character coming through. Readers should check out my video taken with Pierre-Yves onwww.erobertparker.com, where he discusses his impression of the 2012 vintage. He is the prime example of a vigneron that might not possess his own vines, yet creates wines that surpass many of those who do. The bottom line is that volume was approximately 40% to 50% down compared to 2011 (apart from St. Aubin that was only 20% to 25% down.) Pierre-Yves explained that his 2012s displayed much higher acid levels compared to 2011 and opined that they will be shy at the beginning. He expressed the importance of not wishing to “push” the wines, so that he could stay true to what he feels is a more classic vintage in the mold of 2007 and 2010. Tasting through the complete set of 2012s, Pierre-Yves clearly had a firm grasp on the vintage and his wines were (again) a cut above the rest, from his generic white Burgundy to his clutch of grand crus.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets 2011 from Pierre-Yves Colin is very austere on the nose with hints of beeswax, dewy green apples and granite scents that are tightly coiled. The palate is clean and fresh with a prickle of lemongrass on the entry. The acidity is well judged and there is a cheeky touch of white peach on the detailed finish. Reserved now, but this will repay time in the cellar.
Rating: 90 –92
The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru les Caillerets has a slight reduction on the nose, although there seems to be plenty of fruit and mineralité underneath. The palate is well balanced with sour lemon, orange rind and white peach, the acidity noticeable and lending the finish and certain steeliness at the moment. This has good length in the mouth and should turn out to be a sterling Chassagne.

Bosc pear, baked apple, marjoram, and fresh lime on the nose of Colin’s 2006 Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets lead to richly-textured and ripe, yet decidedly alkaline, chalky and refreshingly citrus-tinged palate. This lingers with memorable refinement and genuine mineral intrigue, giving every indication of justifying at least 5-7 years in bottle. In 2005, Marc Colin presided over a division of his estate among his four children, and Pierre-Yves Colin – who had worked at his father’s estate since 1995 and had been making a few barrels of his own from purchased grapes since 2001 – elected to strike out on his own, bottling in his inaugural vintage of 2006 a considerable range of wines in small lots – not all of which I tasted – both from his inheritance in Saint-Aubin and Chassagne and from (presently 30%) contract fruit (largely picked by picked by his own team) in Meursault and Puligny. (He employs the same label for both groups of wines). Colin is one of Burgundy’s unabashed admirers of Riesling, and while he believes in a long elevage for his wines, he does not stir their lees (yet his wines are flatteringly creamy in texture) and professes unconcern as to whether his wines complete malolactic fermentation. (Although I taste no indication that any of these 2006s failed to complete their malo, there is no question most are noticeably bright.) Colin overwhelmingly favors 350-liter barrels over standard (228- or 225-liter) barriques for the freshness and clarity he believes they confer, and even his less prestigious appellations receive 30-50% new wood. Like many in Chassagne, he felt comfortable delaying the commencement of his 2006 harvest until September 21, yet most of the resultant wines hover on either side of 13% alcohol.
