Coche produced six barrels of the beautiful 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Caillerets from this seldom-seen climat on the northern side of Meursault. Wafting from the glass with scents of white flowers, crisp green orchard fruit, citrus zest, pastry cream, fresh mint and toasted sesame, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and chiseled, its sweet core of fruit underpinned by racy acids, concluding with a long, mouthwateringly mineral finish.

Aromas of citrus zest, crisp green pear, white flowers, grapefruit and pastry cream introduce the 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Les Caillerets, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered wine that's deep, concentrated and incisive, concluding with a long and pronouncedly chalky finish. This is one of the high points of Coche-Dury's 2017 portfolio and will be worth special effort to seek out.

The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Les Caillerets is excellent, unfurling in the glass with notes of lemon oil, sesame, dried white flowers and a subtle hint of orange blossom, subtly framed by new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, racy and mineral, with tangy acids and an unmistakably chalky, saline finish. As is often the case, it's the brightest, most overtly stony wine in the Coche-Dury cellar.

The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru les Caillerets is initially tightly-wound and seemed unapologetically broody...not for long. It suddenly springs up a scent of liquorice and musters subtle tropical notes drenched in minerals, so that eventually it blossoms and turns into an extravagant bouquet, more so than the Meursault Rougeot. It settles down with orange blossom and apricot infused with cold wet grey slate. The palate is well balanced with superb acidity. It is overtly spicy and vigorous, infused with ginger and lemon rind, later a touch of grilled almond on the very persistent finish. This is an outstanding Meursault Caillerets for long-term drinking pleasure.

The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru les Caillerets is more backward than the 2014 Meursault Rougeots at the moment, but there is enhanced mineral expression here, veins of flint and smoke infusing the citrus fruit, honeysuckle and a touch of jasmine. The palate is driven with salinity that makes you want to take another sip. There is something Puligny-like here, very focused and full of nervosité and urgency. Just a wonderful Meursault.
