Cailleret is widely believed to be one of Chassagne-Montrachet's best Premier Cru vineyards. It benefits from its hillside location and excellent exposure, which allows its grapes to gain perfect maturity, and its rocky soils with lots of stones. The name Cailleret comes from the word Caille meaning stones.

Lucien le Moine is known for producing hand-crafted wines that are made with a minimalist approach. Never racking, no pumps, very low levels of SO2 and a heavy emphasis on working with the fine lees.

The natural CO2 from the malolactic is present even in bottle. In fact we are looking for this presence as it helps protecting the wine in the most natural way.
The CO2 protects the wine by closing it upon itself that is why ALL OUR WINES MUST BE DECANTED. With decanting CO2 will leave and the wine will show itself. If one has time decanting can be for a few hours, if not a few minutes: by pouring the wine into the decanter and moving it slowly allowing the gas to leave.
