Tasting notes
Rich and succulent with a chalky finish. More weight than many Caillerets made by others (like the 2024). Even a little sweet. (JR)

The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Clos du Cailleret 1er Cru, as usual, has more mineralité and complexity on the nose compared to Les Folatières, with just a touch of melted wax and smoke in the background. The palate is well balanced with a tang of orange zest on the entry, a taut line of acidity and quite a concentrated and persistent finish. This is very promising.
From a 0.37-ha (0.91-acre) plot within the Cailleret vineyard. Purchased in 1993. Harvested 1 September. 15% new oak. Two winters in wood, without racking. pH 3.2. Will be bottled in April. Cask sample. Mid-pale lemon. Expressive nose of ripe apple and lots of peach. Slightly higher apparent acidity than the Folatières, but quite delicious. Balance, depth and structure. Long finish.
