Technical Details
Description
Chassagne-Montrachet is located to the south of Puligny-Montrachet in the Cote de Beaune
and is one of Burgundy's greatest white wine appellations. Cailleret is widely believed to be one
of Chassagne-Montrachet's best Premier Cru vineyards. It benefits from its hillside location and
excellent exposure, which allows its grapes to gain perfect maturity, and its rocky soils with lots
of stones. The name Cailleret comes from the word Caille meaning stones.

Tasting note
This Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Cailleret" 2015 is of a lovely yellow
colour and develops delicious aromas of grapefruit, vanilla and caramel. This wine offers an
ample mouth, with subtle notes of almond, vanilla and fresh lemon. It leaves a trail of elegance
and persistence.
