Aromatically quite floral and perfumed with very high-toned fruit aromas that have a strong herbal component to them followed by delicious, sweet and intense flavors.

90-92The Wine Advocate

The deep, intense nose of the 2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets offers aromas of spiced minerals. Medium-bodied, velvety-textured, and seamless, this wine also has gorgeous definition.
