The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years.
"Situated near Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet, this wine combines pretty lemon zest aromatics with beautiful acidity and balance. Aged in one-third new oak, it is elegant and complex, with good weight and a long finish."
Our note
Both red and white wines achieved impressive yields, the largest ever recorded for the estate, with terroir expression and balance shining through. For reds, comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. Whites carry their hallmark freshness and minerality, further underscored by the decision to reduce the percentage of new oak due to the larger volumes produced.

What the critics say:
"Mid lemon, while the gunflint reduction is slightly masking the fruit at the moment. The crystalline white fruit then surges across the palate with a purity not yet evident on the nose. Some grapefruit helps liven up the finish. Multi-layered. Tasted Oct 2024 ****"
"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.
