Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Le Cailleret" 2023 – Domaine de Montille
The 1er Cru "Le Cailleret" is undoubtedly the crown jewel of Domaine de Montille's white wines. Situated on the same terrace as the Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, this stony limestone terroir produces one of the most distinguished wines in the Côte de Beaune. Under Alix de Montille's guidance, this Chardonnay reaches peaks of precision. The nose is an explosion of purity: white flowers, lime zest, and a flinty mineral imprint. On the palate, the tension is masterful, offering crystalline verticality and an infinitely long saline finish. A "haute couture" white, vibrant and refined, embodying the very definition of elegance in Puligny. A rare wine, built for a memorable aging.

The Gateway to the Grand Crus "Le Cailleret" takes its name from the "cailles" (stones in old French) that litter its soil. This challenging terroir for the vine is a blessing for the connoisseur: it forces the Chardonnay to draw extraordinary minerality.
-
A Privileged Location: Situated just above Montrachet and adjacent to Chevalier, it shares with its illustrious neighbors that directness and complexity found nowhere else.
-
The Alix de Montille Signature: Winemaking focuses on freshness and brilliance. Aging in barrels (with very little new oak) is absolutely discreet, allowing for a chiseled texture and overflowing energy.
-
A "Laser" Profile: Unlike some opulent whites, Le Cailleret stands out for its finesse and sharp edge. It is a vibrant wine that evolves with infinite grace toward notes of toasted hazelnut and fern.
