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. The wine is raised in 25% new barrels for 18-months. Its tunneling, palate-commanding minerality veers into the realm of salt, leaving a dry impression on the finish and promising plenty of cellar upside.
Burghound: 91-93 Points
Here the wood treatment is a bit more prominent though still subtle on the cool, pure and fresh aromas of mostly pear, apple, lemon-lime and a hint of crushed anise. The rich, concentrated and caressing medium-bodied flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract while offers better depth and persistence on the equally well-balanced finale. This is a wine that should drink well young but age well too. Lovely.
