Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Le Cailleret 2022

Beautiful light yellow, with a slight reduction that flares out and reveals a small hint of lime blossom. The wood has quite a firm grip on the finish, but this will naturally disappear over time as the fruit emerges again. Very stylish, long and fine.

About the winemaker In 2022, Camille and Guillaume started their domain in Meursault. Camille comes from a wine family in Pommard and we know Guillaume from his family estate Henri Boillot. Guillaume has made all red wines here since 2012 and, from 2020, also all white wines. The wines at this new family estate are made almost identically in style to those at the family estate. Vinification integral for the red wines and a classic white wine making for the white wines. The difference is the élevage, which is slightly shorter and the wines are therefore slightly more refined in style. The vineyards work organically with a biodynamic approach.
