FEATURES
The 2011 vintage in Burgundy, particularly for Puligny-Montrachet, was noted for its consistency, offering good value and excellent quality. De Montille's Puligny Montrachet Le Cailleret 1er Cru 2011 is considered a magnificent wine, showcasing crystalline white and yellow fruits on the nose, with a pure, vibrant, and expressive character underpinned by tremendous minerality. The palate is fresh, energetic, and boasts a lovely mineral tension. Critics have praised its austere yet beautifully defined aromatics of wet limestone and sea cave scents, which intensify with aeration. It offers a crisp and taut palate with very fine tension, and a surfeit of freshness and precision. Expect notes of lemon, lime, crushed stone, and noble herbal high notes, with a pure, juicy, and mineral-driven profile. Some also describe developing aromas of white peach, citrus, butterscotch, and restrained oak influence, with grapefruit and peach flavors.
🍴 This exquisite white Burgundy is a superb match for delicate seafood, such as pan-seared scallops, grilled halibut, or lobster. It also pairs beautifully with roasted chicken or turkey, and creamy goat cheeses.
🥂 This wine is ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory meal, or as a luxurious aperitif to impress discerning guests. 【A magnificent and consistent expression of Puligny-Montrachet's terroir in the 2011 vintage, offering crystalline fruit and profound minerality.】
