Broad and on the rich side (what you expect from Meursault) this is a white that's marked by the vintage conditions, with slight phenolics from thick skins, and notes of fresh hay and honey. It's a rich, concentrated wine, but there's enough acidity to prevent it from seeming ponderous and flabby.Inc. TAX€189.55 -

Pale, bright straw-yellow. Grapefruit, wet stone and a metallic note on the nose. Good concentration to the pineapple and ripe grapefruit flavors, with firm acidity nicely leavening a slight impression of sweetness. Finishes dry and persistent, with good crunchy minerality.Inc. TAX€189.42 -

The 2018 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru It has an intense bouquet – like other Meursaults from de Montille, carrying a little reduction, but with more crushed stone, mineralité and white flower scents than the Les Porusots. The palate is well balanced with impressive depth, tension and vigor, offering citrus lemon and orange pith mixed with hazelnut toward the sustained finish. Excellent.Inc. TAX€1,167.12 -

The 2018 Meursault Les Porusots 1er Cru, matured in 25% new oak, shows a little reduction on the nose, but there is decent fruit concentration underneath. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, although the reduction dominates the finish at the moment. It could evolve into a fine Les Porusots, but it will need time to lose that reduction (and possibly a good decant).Inc. TAX€389.22 -
(12x75cl) 2016Vinous (88)
(winemaker Brian Sieve used a bit less young oak for this wine in 2016 than in '17): Medium yellow. Nectarine and smoky oak on the fresh nose, plus a hint of hazelnut. Rich, silky, showy wine with subtle sweetness to its peach and apricot fruit. A soft, classic Meursault with good material and thickness as well as sound acidity and definition.Inc. TAX€1,573.46 -

The 2018 Meursault "St. Christophe" is a blend of three vineyards and sees slightly less new oak that other cuvées from de Montille. There is just a slight reduction on the nose, which develops light menthol notes with aeration. The palate is easygoing, perhaps a bit commercial in style, but there is nothing wrong with that. Finishes pleasantly peachy. Drink over the next five or six years.Inc. TAX€1,017.16 -

Sourced from Les Petit Charrons and Les Castet, the 2019 Meursault "St. Christophe" has a tightly wound bouquet that lacks flair compared to some of the other Meursaults from de Montille. The palate is well balanced and more expressive, offering tangerine and light grapefruit notes and a touch of ginger toward the finish. Hopefully the aromatics will find their voice by the time of bottling.Inc. TAX€1,059.86 -

Bright, pale yellow. Soil-driven aromas of apple, white pepper and crushed stone. Dense, broad and fine-grained, with terrific lemony energy to the flavors of spices and dusty stone. Very rich but given definition and grip by its dusty, tactile mouth feel. The very long, floral finish perfumes the mouth. Superb.Inc. TAX€2,377.32 -

The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Le Cailleret bristles on the palate with tons of energy and focus. The Cailleret is vibrant, chiseled and beautifully articulated from start to finish. It is at once broad yet pointed, in a marvelous expression of site and vintage. Alix de Montille did a fabulous job with the 2010. This is a superb showing. Anticipated maturity: 2014+.Inc.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The aromatics on the Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru les Caillerets 2011 is more austere than Anne-Claude Leflaive’s Clavoillon, but it is beautifully defined with wet limestone and sea cave scents that with aeration become very intense. The palate is crisp and taut with very fine tension. It just loses a little intensity toward the finish, but it possesses a surfeit of freshness and precision. This was one of the best white 2011s Burgundy wines that I tasted during an intensive week of peer group tasting.Inc. TAX€2,375.94 -

(with an average age of 55 years, these vines produced 35 hectoliters per hectare in 2014): Ripe but tight nose hints at white peach, citrus fruits, flowers, rock and clove muted by sulfur, plus a touch of lichee. Very rich and thick, with the distinct creamy intensity of old vines, but not at all exotic in spite of the noteworthy sweetness to its stone and citrus fruit flavors. This wine really spreads out to saturate the palate on the long aftertaste, which features a lingering note of sweet macadamia nut.Inc. TAX€291.55 -

Wine Advocate (94)
This was a very strong showing from Domaine de Montille's 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets, a taut, intense wine that offers up aromas of toasted nuts, citrus pith and a framing of smoky reduction. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, beautifully glossy and pure, with considerable concentration, bright balancing acids and a long, lingering finish. In its reductive, incisive style, this is an extremely successful contemporary white Burgundy.Inc. TAX€296.64 -

Bright yellow with a green tinge. Aromas of nectarine, white pepper and spices are lifted by a hint of lavender. Brisk, energetic wine with noteworthy definition and delicacy to its complex flavors of citrus fruits and crushed-stone minerality. Very fresh for 2016, showing no dried-fruit character. This infant still needs time to knit but should evolve gracefully. Finishes very long and scented.Inc. TAX€2,115.07 -

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a very fragrant bouquet offering touches of honeysuckle, orange zest, crushed stone and later more blood orange aromas. The palate is balanced, linear and fairly conservative after the aromatics. Maybe this is beginning to close up? After an initial period when it seems buttoned down, this Pucelles blossoms with aeration to reveal a gorgeous, refined, spicy finish with impressive persistence.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru does not quite have the intensity on the nose compared to its peers. But it opens nicely with apple blossom and flinty aromas. The palate is well balanced with a smooth, slightly peppery entry, fine acidity, a little over-ripeness towards the finish that just detracts from the definition.

Fresh lemon colour. This wine is in its classic pure white fruit. Waves of flavour, offering both elegance as well as weight, a tiny bit richer at the back, but this cannot hold back the Cailleretishness of it. Superb length. Tasted: October 2020Inc. TAX€372.36 -

Pale lemon colour. A whiff of riper fruit on the first nose, but in fact the whole is as well balanced as the rest of the cellar. Pure white fruit of great distinction, and very long indeed. An impeccable mineral thread throughout, white fruit, concentrated and threatening to turn into a spectacular wine. 13.4% alcohol. Tasted: October 2021Inc. TAX€1,035.84 -

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet that is in a league of its own against four other wines from Caillerets. Life-affirming delineation and mineralité, palpable energy, real race and class. The palate has just a tiny reduction that imparts energy and tension. Linear at first, it goes on and on at the finish, delivering the sapidity to demand another sip a.s.a.p. This is sophisticated and enchanting. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. TAX€1,379.77 -

White Burgundy offers a lot to wine lovers. Its numerous appellations and winemakers really exhibit the breadth and quality of styles that Chardonnay can achieve; from Puligny-Montrachet with its gentle floral beauty and style to Meursault's rich, buttery and savory character. You can return to Burgundy vintage after vintage and still learn and explore.
