"I have been arguing for some years now that Caillerets is the single best vineyard in Puligny and it's interesting that we're finally beginning to see enough different examples to create a greater awareness of just how fine the vineyard can be (it was essentially a monopole) until the early 1990s. Noticeable pain grillé undertones highlight expressive, wonderfully pure middle weight flavors that display nuances of fennel, citrus and a subtle ripe pear character and a sappy, palate staining finish of grand cru caliber persistence. A terrific wine that has it all, blending size, power, weight and elegance into a seamless whole."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
