Puligny-Montrachet Le Cailleret 1er Cru 2016 — Domaine de Montille, Magnum 1.5 L
This Puligny-Montrachet Le Cailleret 1er Cru 2016 from Domaine de Montille, presented here in magnum format, expresses one of the most refined and mineral faces of great white Burgundy. Sourced from the prestigious Premier Cru climat of Le Cailleret, a site closely associated with the nobility of Montrachet, it combines crystalline Chardonnay purity, limestone tension and the aristocratic precision that defines the finest wines of Puligny-Montrachet.
The 2016 vintage gives the wine remarkable balance: freshness, concentration and controlled maturity unfold with elegance rather than excess. Notes of lemon zest, ripe citrus, white flowers, acacia, pear, almond, fine spice, wet stone, chalk and delicate toasted nuances shape a wine of depth, energy and long mineral persistence. In magnum, this Puligny-Montrachet offers even greater ageing potential, preserving freshness while allowing the wine to develop complexity with exceptional grace.
The spirit of the wine
A noble Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru: precise, mineral and deeply elegant. Le Cailleret brings structure, chalky energy and a long, almost saline finish, while Domaine de Montille’s interpretation favours purity, restraint and tension. The magnum format enhances the wine’s collectible character, offering a white Burgundy built for slow, graceful evolution.
Terroir: Le Cailleret, mineral nobility beside Montrachet
The Le Cailleret climat is one of Puligny-Montrachet’s most admired Premier Cru vineyards. Its name evokes stony, limestone-rich soils, and the wines are often marked by precision, verticality and a refined mineral frame. Located in one of Burgundy’s most prestigious white wine sectors, Le Cailleret is renowned for producing Chardonnay of great tension, depth and longevity.
In the hands of Domaine de Montille, this terroir becomes a wine of classical Burgundy elegance: concentrated yet never heavy, structured yet finely chiselled, powerful yet carried by freshness. The result is a Premier Cru with remarkable poise, combining citrus brightness, floral delicacy, chalky texture and a long, noble finish.

Expression of the 2016 vintage
The 2016 vintage brings tension, precision and remarkable freshness to this naturally powerful Premier Cru. Rather than richness alone, the wine expresses balance, energy and mineral definition, with a firm backbone and a long, refined finish. In magnum, its evolution is slower and more harmonious, allowing the citrus, floral and chalky dimensions to gain complexity while preserving the purity of the fruit.
Food pairing
This Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru will pair beautifully with lobster, scallops, turbot, sole meunière, roast poultry with cream sauce, veal in a delicate jus, mushroom risotto or aged Comté. Its mineral freshness, depth and magnum ageing potential also make it an outstanding bottle for collectors of great white Burgundy.
In summary: a noble, mineral and beautifully structured Puligny-Montrachet Le Cailleret 1er Cru 2016, shaped by the limestone precision of the terroir, the freshness of the vintage and the classical elegance of Domaine de Montille.
Dominant aromas: lemon zest, ripe citrus, white peach, pear, acacia, almond, fine spice, chalk, wet stone, subtle toast and a long saline mineral finish.
