Clos des Lambrays, Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru "Clos du Cailleret" 2022	96 James Suckling A bit weightier and lengthier than les Folatieres. Uncoiled power and tension, with aromas of minerals and touches of white sesame, lemon curd and shells. Soft-spoken but powerful at the same time, with chalky austerity, a medium to full body and a long, saline finish that lingers well. 1,500 bottles made using wild yeast. Drink or hold. 93 Wine Spectator This ripe, rich style is backed by vibrant acidity, boasting peach, melon, mineral and toasty oak flavors before turning more linear and delineated on the lingering finish. Shows terrific intensity, with a stony undertow. Drink now through 2029. 175 cases made, 20 cases imported. 94 Decanter The Domaine des Lambrays acquired 0.36 hectares of the Clos du Cailleret from Chartron in the 1990s. Along with their even smaller slice of Folatières, this is the white wine of the domaine. Jack Devauges and his team have succeeded marvellously with this bottling, boasting grapefruit and ripe nectarine aromas with hints of flint, smoke and spice. The texture deftly balances extract and fresh acidity to good effect, driving the wine to a lingering finish. Although marked by the maturation in 50% new casks, with three to five years, this will integrate seamlessly and should age well.	Bottle Image Label Image Tech Sheet
