Domaine de Montille Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru 'Caillerets' 2021

 "The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a perfumed, mineral-driven nose that is one of the best amongst de Montille's whites: tensile and brimming with vivacity. The palate is taut and fresh on the entry, lime and grapefruit merging into slightly more tropical fruit towards the finish, but the tension is here throughout. This is a triumph given the season. Drink: 2025-2045. (Jan 2023)" 93-95 Points. Neal Martin, Vinous.

This is aromatically similar to the Folati?res though with a broader array of elegant and wonderfully pure floral elements. There is first-rate volume and mid-palate density to the refined yet seriously punchy middleweight flavors that are like rolling tiny rocks around the mouth on the clean and equally long finale. This will need to develop better depth, but the balance and underlying material appear to be present for that to occur. Outstanding. Drink 2031+. 91-94 Points. Allen Meadows, Burghound.
