Robert Parker
"Made from vines purchased in 2004 by Patrick Landanger, the 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Le Cailleret offers aromas of pink grapefruit zest, toasted hazelnuts, and chalk dust. Remarkably refreshing for a wine of such richness and minerality, it offers a long, fresh finish with notes of aromatic herbs, citrus, and stone. Added to this are notes of toasted nuts, apricot pits, vanilla bean, licorice, and citrus zest. Highly mineral, this wine is the very embodiment of grand cru quality.” (Wine Advocate 2008 - Robert Parker). Exemplary!

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 17/20 (Top-rated wine)
Rated estate (2017 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the glories of the French vineyard)
About the wine:
One of the standout wines of the vintage in Puligny, with very subtle toasty notes of reduction on the nose, a remarkable lemongrass flavor on the palate, great freshness, a magnificent texture, and an exemplary purity on the finish. A recent acquisition by the estate from a premier terroir and a success that should give some local producers pause for thought!
About the estate:
From La Bousse d'Or to Patrick Landanger, via the Dukes of Burgundy and Jacques-Marie Duvault-Blochet, this estate has been home to Burgundy’s great figures for over eight centuries. One of them, Gérard Potel, brought Volnay wines to new heights from 1964 to 1997, until his sudden passing. Patrick Landanger, who acquired the estate in 1997, took the reins of the cellars himself in 1999 to carry out a series of colossal renovations, including a redesign of the vinification facility, which now operates by gravity across six floors. Since then, the estate’s wines have continued to evolve toward the pinnacle of Volnay’s femininity and an incomparably silky mouthfeel. The recent addition of Chambolle-Musigny wines from the former Moine-Hudelot estate only confirms this trend.

Rated estate (2017 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
A magnificent estate in Volnay. La Pousse d'Or owes its revival to Patrick Landanger, who has devoted significant financial and human resources to restoring the reputation of this iconic estate. He is responsible for a considerable upgrade of the winemaking facilities and the acquisition of new vineyards, particularly in the Côte de Nuits. The wines are all outstanding.

An excellent white Burgundy that combines power and finesse, with a mineral quality that paired perfectly with the truffle-stuffed chicken we enjoyed with it.
