Domaine Lamy-Caillat

I refer readers to my introduction to this micro-domaine run by Sébastien Caillat and his wife Florence in my “Under the Radar” article on Vinous earlier this year. I meet Sébastien on a beautiful autumn morning in Chassagne, at his winery just up the road from Ramonet and Guy Amiot. In 2017 he has a new addition: a Bourgogne Blanc La Grand Corvée that comes from a métayage where he will take two-thirds of the grapes. He was very upbeat about the 2017s, opining that they are as good as the 2014s. The harvest took place between September 3 and 6, with healthy grapes and, thankfully, no maladies in the vineyard throughout the year. As I expected, Caillat’s 2017s are utterly sublime, pretty and understated, gaining intensity with modest aeration. His Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets really stands out, though the Les Champ Gains is nipping at its heels. I have also included two bottled 2016s to add to the one I reviewed earlier this year, the Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée already showing huge potential.
