Puligny-Montrachet, Le Cailleret, 1er Cru, 2024
A very pure stony, crystalline quality, typical of this site, and a really well-defined nose suggest another excellent Caillerets in the making. With wonderful flow and silkiness to it, this is an effortless and sweeping Caillerets; all class, with no need to shout or show off. This promises to be extremely good. Caillerets is an exceptionally well-situated vineyard with Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet as neighbours. Only 20% of this is aged in new oak and the barrels are a mixture of barriques and larger demi-muid barrels to minimise their influence. The vines are 50 years old.
critic reviews
The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a light reduction on the nose that will require time to lift, but there is intensity and a sense of purpose. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, orange rind and light citrus peel, quite tensile with a harmonious and quite persistent finish. This should deliver once in bottle.
