RATINGS

92-94Vinous / IWC

...crushed rocks mixed with yellow flower and honeysuckle aromas. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity. Intense, full of energy and cohesive, leading into a beautiful, pure orange-zest-tinged finish with pralines on the aftertaste. Wonderful.

91-93The Wine Advocate

Notes of citrus zest, crisp orchard fruit, crushed chalky and smoke preface the 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Cailleret (Maison Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, layered and reserved wine that's quite tensile and attractively precise.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Leesy, cheesy nose with an almost grapey florality. Oily lemons, peach cordial and candied citrus. Bold and full bodied, with a little savoury smokiness and just enough tangy acidity.
