Product Notes

Domaine de Montille's Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Le Cailleret is a quintessential white Burgundy wine renowned for its elegance. Crafted from hand-picked Chardonnay grapes grown on prime limestone soil, it delivers an exquisite complexity of flavours. Boasting a bright golden hue, the wine presents a harmonious blend of citrus fruits, white blossom and minerality on the nose. On the palate, it reveals a sophisticated interplay between creamy textures and crisp acidity, leading to a long, lingering finish. This delightful marriage of power and restraint makes it a perfect pairing for seafood and cheese dishes.

Tasting Notes

Intense, deep, pure, mineral, lemon, complex. A good example of why Le Cailleret is often considered a grand cru in quality, if not appellation.
