FEATURES
The 2016 Roulot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Le Cailleret' comes from Jean-Marc Roulot's négociant line, crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as his estate wines, using organically grown and hand-selected grapes. The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Le Cailleret' vineyard is considered one of the best 1er Crus in Puligny-Montrachet, neighboring both Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet. Neal Martin's tasting of the 2016 Caillerets described a clean, precise bouquet with attractive granite and damp limestone scents filtering through green apple aromas. The palate is well-balanced with a finely tuned opening of citrus zest, peach skin, and a touch of ginger, with acidity providing more tension and a lovely caressing finish with a waxy texture. 【 A truly delightful 1er cru, offering a complex and elegant expression of Chardonnay 】.
Tasting notes for this white Burgundy often include minerals, honey, stone, apple, green apple, pear, citrus, lemon, and lime.
