Descrizione

The Meursault 1er Cru Caillerets by Pillot is born in the heart of Burgundy, in one of the most renowned appellations for the production of elegant and highly refined white wines. The main grape variety is Chardonnay, grown on a terroir rich in limestone marl that provides structure and minerality to the wine.

This Premier Cru stands out for a careful aging process, often carried out in well-selected French oak barrels, which balance the primary freshness with hints of vanilla and toast without overpowering the fruit. On the nose, aromas of white-fleshed fruits, such as apple and pear, emerge, enriched by delicate floral notes and a subtle mineral imprint reminiscent of flint.

On the palate, it is enveloping, with a beautiful harmony between vibrant acidity and softness, guaranteeing a refined and complex persistence. Ideal paired with refined fish dishes, shellfish, or soft cheeses, it represents an excellence to be discovered for those who love great Burgundian whites.
