Scores

“Firm reduction renders the nose unreadable today though there is by contrast a lovely sense of freshness and vibrancy to the sleek, intense and refined medium-bodied flavors that also brim with an almost aggressive minerality that also suffuses the driving, clean and quite dry finish. This is really quite classy and offer just a bit more overall depth than the Perrières. Sweet spot Outstanding”

Tasting Notes

This is one of the true hidden gems of Domaine de Montille’s lineup. Vineyard proximity is often overstated, but Les Caillerets neighbours Le Montrachet and Chevalier Montrachet, making it difficult to ignore in this instance. It would be foolish to suggest this is of the same quality as two of the greatest Grand Crus. However, the proximity carries real relevance, particularly the aspect and position on the slope which offers generous sunshine in the morning for optimal ripeness, whilst allowing for the cool evenings to preserve that vital acidity and freshness. The final result is a lovely aromatic and exuberant style which is so inviting. This 2015 is bright, pure and delicate with wonderfully communicative and luxurious citrus aromas alongside a tart yet ripe apple character. So floral and aromatic with pure notes of lemon pith coming through on the palate. The palate displays a deeply mineral character that this site is famous for alongside a lovely acidity which carries everything through on a wave of tension right through to the lengthy finish. This is a classy wine with tremendous energy and vibrancy. Tasting it recently has knocked some sense into me! I am a convert to the greatness of Caillerets.

ProducerDomaine de Montille

Domaine de Montille is one of Burgundy’s greatest estates. The wines are made for ageing but in recent years, since Hubert’s son Etienne has taken over, the Domaine has moved towards expressing greater aromatic potential in the wines. The Domaine has moved progressively towards organic and now biodynamic methods working in closer harmony with nature. The wines still benefit from ageing and develop an abundance of complexity as they mature.
