The de Montille 2007 Puligny-Montrachet Caillerets delivers a haunting nose of white peach, fresh lemon, honeysuckle, and narcissus. Alive with energy and citric brightness yet also subtly creamy in texture and saturating the palate with liquid flowers and almond paste, it finishes with cut, clarity, refreshment, vibratory intensity, and a wealth of ineffable mineral nuances. This is both ultra-Caillerets and ultra-2007, and that is an impressive combination likely to resonate even a decade from now.
