Tasting notes
Bright, pale yellow. Soil-driven aromas of apple, white pepper and crushed stone. Dense, broad and fine-grained, with terrific lemony energy to the flavors of spices and dusty stone. Very rich but given definition and grip by its dusty, tactile mouth feel. The very long, floral finish perfumes the mouth. Superb.

The 2009 Puligny-Montrachet Le Cailleret is a relatively accessible wine. The fruit is attractive and silky, but ultimately this comes across as a bit flabby and lacking acidity. Accordingly, it is best enjoyed sooner rather than later.
