Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Clos du Cailleret 1er Cru is taut and focused on the nose: scents of lemon thyme and crushed stone, just a little liquorice in the background. The palate is very well balanced with a vibrant entry, quite rich and powerful with a lightly spiced finish. It does miss a little nervosité compared to its peers although there is fine persistence on the aftertaste.

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos du Cailleret offers up aromas of pear, white flowers, pastry cream and blanched almonds. Medium to full-bodied, racy and chiseled, it shares the tangy, precise profile of the domaine's Folatières but carries a touch more flesh on its structural bones.

About the Producer
At the heart and the summit of the estate visitors will find the eponymous Clos. There are also two plots of the Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru and four plots of the Morey-Saint-Denis village, all of them planted with Pinot noir. With the acquisition of a few “ouvrées” of Chardonnay of two “Climats” classified as Premier Cru in Puligny-Montrachet, les Folatières and the Clos du Cailleret, the estate is now complete. The estate also boasts a castle and its ancient cellar, dating back to the seventeenth century, and of one of the most beautiful gardens of the region. The garden features a three hundred year old cedar as well as orchids and a collection of roses. This classical beauty of the grounds contribute heavily to the wine’s aesthetic qualities.
