Vintage Character The 2018 Domaine Lamy-Caillat Chassagne-Montrachet 'Les Caillerets' Premier Cru is a striking example of white Burgundy, showcasing the finesse and mineral-driven character of this renowned terroir. The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was notable for its warm, sunny conditions, which led to ripe, concentrated fruit while cooler nights and timely rainfall helped preserve freshness and balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This Chardonnay opens with an expressive bouquet of white peach, lemon zest, acacia blossom, and subtle flint notes, followed by a palate layered with orchard fruits, citrus oil, and a refined, chalky minerality that reflects the limestone-rich soils of Les Caillerets. The wine’s texture is both creamy and vibrant, with well-integrated oak and a lingering finish marked by saline purity and tension. Its versatility makes it an excellent companion to classic French dishes such as sole meunière, roasted chicken with tarragon, or a creamy Comté cheese, highlighting its elegance and depth.
