Other expressions, like the 1er Cru La Romanée, offer profound scents of peach, pear, green apples, white flowers, and fresh pastry, delivering a full-bodied, deep, and multidimensional experience with racy acids and chalky extract. The 1er Cru Les Caillerets reveals notes of baking powder, mandarin, and yellow fruit, complemented by a keen spine of acidity and a tangy, marmalade-tinged finish.
