2016 Domaine Jean Chartron Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos du Cailleret 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
(6/2/2022)
Paired with Clos de la Pucelle 2016. Clearly the greater wine of the two, deeper and with broader shoulders, but also in need of more time to develop. It is a profound wine, and a resounding success for this frosted vintage.
