Tasting notes
The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Clos du Cailleret 1er Cru offers subtle tropical fruit on the nose: guava, passion fruit and hints of pineapple. Initially lacking a bit of mineralité and terroir expression, it comes through nicely with aeration. The palate is fresh on the entry, balanced and introverted at first, but just give it a few minutes and it reveals wonderful generosity and mineralité with a long, long finish. Don't be afraid to decant this. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Clos du Cailleret 1er Cru has an attractive peach skin, pear and crushed stone scented bouquet that blossoms with aeration. The palate feels a little riper than Chartron's cuvées partly because the stone detritus reflected some of the heat. With hints of tropical fruit on the finish, this will doubtless be an earlier-drinking Puligny to enjoy over the next decade.
