(95-96 points) This has a load of grapefruit and lemon and a flinty, reductive edge, as well as attractive, stony notes. Long, ethereal palate with a super juicy array of white peaches, lemon curd and yellow grapefruit. Beautifully fleshy and supple with pitch-perfect, balanced acidity. Very intense, long finish. Mouthwatering. Great wine, from 80-year-old vines. Drink over the next decade.

The pick of the de Montille whites in 2017, this comes from the same slope as Montrachet and it shows in the quality and sheer class of the wine. Taut, textured and beautifully weighted, it's one of those wines that will drink well at every point in its life. Long and very mineral.

(92 - 94 points) The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets offers up a nuttier, more reductive bouquet than the Folatières, wafting from the glass with notions of toasted bread, lime zest and crisp green apple. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and tangy, with a tense, tight-knit core, chewy dry extract and good grip on the long finish. It's one of the high points of de Montille's 2017 collection.- WK

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a very fragrant bouquet offering touches of honeysuckle, orange zest, crushed stone and later more blood orange aromas. The palate is balanced, linear and fairly conservative after the aromatics. Maybe this is beginning to close up? After an initial period when it seems buttoned down, this Pucelles blossoms with aeration to reveal a gorgeous, refined, spicy finish with impressive persistence.
