Louis Jadot Puligny-Montrachet Le Cailleret Premier Cru 2018

Louis Jadot Le Cailleret Premier Cru 2018 is an exceptionally elegant and tightly wound white Burgundy that beautifully showcases its terroir. The wine opens with an expressive bouquet of crisp green orchard fruit, white peach, and zesty citrus, seamlessly interwoven with delicate nuances of crushed chalk, dried white flowers, and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and notably precise, displaying a vibrant, driving acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. The lingering finish is refined and perfectly balanced, leaving behind trailing notes of citrus peel, subtle oak, and an appealing mouthwatering tension.

Food Pairing: Brilliantly complements rich shellfish like seared scallops or lobster in cream sauce, roasted poultry, grilled veal chops, and mild soft cheeses.

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

There are three barrels of the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Cailleret (Maison Louis Jadot), a lovely wine that exhibits a classy bouquet of crisp yellow orchard fruit, beeswax, buttered citrus and wheat toast. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with good concentration and fine grip on the stony finish.
