Domaine Sylvain Morey Description
Sylvain works 0.38 hectares of very old selection-massale Chardonnay planted in 1950 by his grandfather Albert in this prestigious climat on the slopes just above and south of the village. Known for its poor and stony soil, Caillerets produces a wine with profound minerality and finesse that always benefits from at least a few years in the cellar to express its true potential.
Burghound: 91-94 Points
An ever-so-slightly riper nose offers up attractively layered aromas of both white and yellow peach, acacia blossom and crushed fennel that are framed by just enough oak to notice. There is outstanding density and volume to the concentrated and powerful medium weight flavors that possess a seductive mouthfeel, all wrapped in a chiseled, stony and sneaky long finale where a pronounced, even bracing, bitter lemon character emerges. I suspect that this citrus pith taste will slowly dissipate with age. In sum, this is excellent with fine aging potential.
