Puligny-Montrachet Cailleret has possibly the most complex terroir in Burgundy, a portion of which was made part of the Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru in 1939. Chartron’s expression is full-bodied and layered with golden wheat and stone fruit flavors. Domaine Jean Chartron is one of the prominent, historic landowners in Puligny-Montrachet. It uniquely boasts three prominent walled monopoles: Puligny-Montrache Clos de la Pucelle, Puligny-Montrachet Clos du Caillerets, and Chevalier-Montrachet Clos des Chevaliers. Jean-Michel Chartron now runs the estate with his sister Anne-Laure Chartron Malassagne. They produce generous wines that will make you smile.

VM92-94: The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Clos du Cailleret ler Cru has a prettier, slightly more floral bouquet compared to the Clos de la Pucelle, a little more mineralité and tension. The palate is well-balanced with a silver bead of acidity, impressive tension and slightly more nuanced than the Clos de la Pucelle. Good race and energy in evidence here. It represents one of Jean-Michel Chartron's most promising 2022s.
