We can’t think of another address in Burgundy that has such strength in its domaine whites and Cote de Beaune reds (and the highly sought after Vosne Romanée ‘Malconsorts’ cherry on top) and we are delighted to carry a good selection from across their portfolio.
The 2020 'Le Cailleret' is a wine that showcases both power and finesse, typical of top-tier Burgundy. While it is likely to be approachable in its youth due to the vintage's ripeness, this wine will benefit from some time in the cellar to fully express its complexity and depth.
Drinking window: 2024 - 2035
What the critics say:
"The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a strange bouquet, almost Muscat-like at the beginning. It's very floral to the extent that it masks the fruit profile. Given a few minutes in the glass, it finally gains delineation and focus, offering petrichor and sea cave, and then it's off and away. The palate is well-balanced with a finely posed entry, saline and focused, gaining weight towards a harmonious and powerful finish that pulls off the trick of being tender and graceful. Quite brilliant and, surprisingly, one of the highest scores awarded throughout the entire week-long tasting of 2020s. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting."
"***** Pale lemon colour. A whiff of riper fruit on the first nose, but in fact the whole is as well balanced as the rest of the cellar. Pure white fruit of great distinction, and very long indeed. An impeccable mineral thread throughout, white fruit, concentrated and threatening to turn into a spectacular wine. 13.4% alcohol. Tasted: October 2021."
