Pernot/Alvina Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Les Caillerets 2022

94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Pale in colour with a little bacon fat reduction. Otherwise, not so easy to pick out the nose. Very good tension, absolutely typical stony minerals here, and very persistent. Not yet fully showing but fine potential. Three barrels made. (Oct 2023)"

94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru comes from Alvina Pernot's own parcel and contains a little more new oak than the other cuvées. This is not obvious on the mild-mannered nose, well-defined with citrus fruit, apple blossom and a touch of white peach. The palate is very well-balanced with a very effective reduction. It’s tensile and razor-sharp with a lovely twist of bitter lemon, imparting tension on the finish. Superb. Drink: 2026-2048. (Jan 2024)"

93 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A highly complex if again quite reticent nose also requires aggressive swirling to reveal the aromas of spiced apple, exotic tea, wet stone and a plenitude of floral wisps. Once again the mouthfeel of the middle weight flavors is positively gorgeous with even more minerality adding a sense of lift to the clean, dry, chiseled and crisp finale. This is excellent and very much constructed to repay a decade plus of aging. Classy juice. Drink: 2032+. (Jun 2024)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(Exchanges of must for this and the Charlemagne. ‘One of the barrels a 450-litre was new is it’s a bit more marked by its elevage’). Perhaps a faint barrel spice on this nose but otherwise it’s broad and fine. Ooh – that’s a beauty in the mouth – volume and ultra-complexity. I’m not always convinced by Caillerets but I am by this wine! The finish not as immersive as some but very long all the same – potentially a great Caillerets! (12/24/23)"
