This golden coloured "Caillerets" has intense nose of Bourbon vanilla and exotic fruits. The mouth is powerful with aromatic notes of mango, banana and toast.
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.
