Revealing aromas of freshly cut flowers, the Puligny Montrachet Le Cailleret blossoms on the palate with rich, sweet, toasted fruits, and touches of fresh earth. It is extremely well made, exhibiting power, delineation, length, and concentration. This full-bodied wine should age well for 10+ years. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29.
