justerini & brooks tasting note

The most backward of the whites initially, then hitting the palate with a really fine-boned character, a dancing steely core of concentration that provides this with a huge sense of kinetic energy. Fine stones, airy fruit, all saline, mouthwatering fruit with a fine grip and structure and a high toned ethereal feel to the finish. There’s more finesse here than in Perrieres, but just as much length and persistence. A baby Chevalier in many respects. 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

92-94/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a little reduction on the nose, though that's not enough to disguise the mineralité and energy in this wine. The palate is well balanced and lightly spiced with a fine bead of acidity, remaining sprightly with hints of tropical fruit right on the finish. There is potential for a great Puligny in the making.
