Domaine de Montille
Puligny Montrachet, Les Caillerets, 1er Cru, 2011
justerini & brooks tasting note
Stunning intensity of flavour, thrilling limestone, citrus, acacia and white flower characteristics. Fine, juicy, so long and incredibly focused. A Puligny of depth and concentration but, most importantly, remarkable brightness and poise. Glorious.
critic reviews
92+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
(bottled three weeks prior to my visit; 20% new oak): Lemon, lime, crushed stone and some noble herbal high notes on the nose. Citrussy and penetrating, with a hint of youthful bitterness to the lime leaf and chalky mineral flavors. Very pure, juicy, mineral-driven wine with sneaky depth and a persistent, vibrating finish. This is 12.7% alcohol following about 0.3% of chaptalization, notes Alix de Montille.
