The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Clos du Cailleret” from Domaine Jean Chartron is a beautifully poised and terroir-driven Chardonnay that captures the elegance and precision for which Puligny-Montrachet is revered.
The nose is lifted and expressive, offering aromas of lemon zest, white peach, acacia blossom, crushed stone, and subtle toasted hazelnut. On the palate, the wine is refined and tightly woven, balancing delicate richness with striking mineral tension. Layers of citrus oil, ripe orchard fruit, chalk, almond cream, and saline minerality unfold with remarkable clarity and persistence.
Clos du Cailleret is known for producing wines of finesse and precision rather than overt power, and the cooler, more classical 2024 vintage highlights those qualities beautifully. The result is a Premier Cru of exceptional purity, energy, and aging potential.
