Fernand & Laurent Pillot, Meursault Caillerets Size:6x750ml Taking lightness to the extreme

Taking lightness to the extreme in some cases

finesse and filigreed purity that is reminiscent of slate and quartzite rather than deep clay

It has always been on the lighter side

dried black cherry and worn-in leather are the signatures of a wine with a fair bit of bottle age

Fernand & Laurent Pillot, Meursault Caillerets Size:6x750ml Taking lightness to the extremeRiper and ever so vaguely exotic notes include those of white peach, cool floral, pear and citrus on the nicely spicy nose that are trimmed in moderate wood. Unusually, there is a hint of quinine on the beautifully delineated and stony medium weight flavors that culminate in a citrusy, clean, markedly dry and mildly austere finale. This beautifully delineated effort is clearly built to age and is going to need at least 4 to 6 years of patience first.
