Meursault

1er Cru Les Caillerets

"Caille" means rock or stone. Caillerais is the name of vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Nuits Saint-Georges and Volnay. –"ret" is to emphasise the quality of these terroirs.

The 2020 vintage is a unique vintage. It is marked by historic precocity from budburst, with an advance of 3 weeks, until the harvest which took place entirely in the month of August. High temperatures associated with a lack of precipitation cause a significant water deficit as well as evapotranspiration phenomena in July and August. The absence of rain, on the other hand, allows the health of the grapes to be very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage generate wonderful balances.
