WINE DESCRIPTION
Caroline Lestimé has taken her family's domain from an insider's tip to fame. Along the way, she transitioned to sustainable viticulture, and by now, biodynamic farming has been fully integrated. Elegant, mineral white wines have long been the hallmark of this top-tier estate. Through their natural practices in the vineyard and cellar, the wines have gained even more in expression and complexity. Apart from the grand Bâtard-Montrachet, the rare Premier Cru Les Caillerets is simply sensational.

The palate is equally impressive, with a harmonious balance between the vibrant acidity and the rich, creamy texture. Flavors of juicy stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, mingle with hints of tropical fruits, creating a luscious and multi-layered taste experience. The oak aging is well-integrated, providing a touch of vanilla and spice that further enhances the wine's complexity.
