Includes one third of young vines from Chassagne Caillerets. Pale colour with green tints. The bouquet is all in white fruit, a little softer than the trio of St-Aubins. There is good body behind this, filling the palate with white fruit, and going through to a graceful finish. Drink from 2026-2030. 89-91 Points
The normal Benoites but augmented with some young vine Chassagne Caillerets – like last year – ‘it helps!’
Hmm – floral top notes and lots of depth – that’s a super invitation! It’s like the St.Aubins but with more weight/depth of flavour but also no disadvantages – the balance here is impeccable. For a villages I think that’s a great wine – the flavour complexity unfurling over the plate – bravo!
