Description
Chassagne-Montrachet is located to the south of Puligny-Montrachet in the Cote de Beaune and is one of Burgundy's greatest white wine appellations. "Cailleret" is widely believed to be one of Chassagne-Montrachet's best Premier Cru vineyards. It benefits from its rocky, stony hillside location and excellent exposure, which allows its grapes to gain perfect maturity. The name "Cailleret" comes from the word 'caille' meaning stones.
