RATINGS

92+ The Wine Advocate

...a very composed and elegant bouquet with attractive aromas of hazelnut and white chocolate accompanied by minerals. This is very pretty. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity...finish nicely structured with a persistent spicy aftertaste.

90-92Stephen Tanzer

Deep, smoky aromas of yellow peach and toasty oak, plus a whiff of orange zest. Bright and tight on the palate, communicating a dusty, tactile quality to its flavors of yellow peach and stony minerality.

17Jancis Robinson

Spicy, ripe and creamy on the palate. Lovely tropical juiciness on the finish.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet, Le Cailleret

Le Cailleret is a 7.8-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the appellation of Puligny-Montrachet, in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. Le Cailleret is just above the Grand Cru Le Montrachet. Burgundy writer Clive Coates notes that at its best, Le Cailleret and its diminutive neighbor Les Demoiselles “make exquisite wines: not as powerful as Le Montrachet itself, but of pure breed, excellent grip and beautiful balance.”

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay, 1er (Premier) Cru

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
