2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Le Cailleret, Domaine de Montille

2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Le Cailleret, Domaine de Montille

Le Cailleret is high up on the hill, cornering Le Chevalier-Montrachet and Le Montrachet, just above Les Pucelles. In terms of location, you can’t do much better. The soil is stony and poor up here, and de Montille’s 70 year old vines produce an intense, steely style. Tight, mineral, and pretty fabulous. This stands out amongst a strong set of whites.

Tasting notes

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru is more backward and reticent compared to the Folatières at the moment. Matured in 30% new oak, but I agreed with winemaker Brian Sieve that the wood is barely noticeable. The palate is well balanced with very subtle tropical notes of mango and passion fruit on the entry, dovetailing into more citric notes toward the tensile finish. Great potential. This should be superb once in bottle.
