Notes · 読み物

コート・ド・ボーヌのピュリニー・モンラッシェ村に位置するル・カイユレは、面積3.33ヘクタールのプルミエ・クリュである。この地所はシュヴァリエ・モンラッシェのすぐ下に位置し、ル・モンラッシェを北へ延長したような立地にある。石の多さが際立つ土壌だが、上方のグラン・クリュに比べるとわずかに表土が厚い。かつてはドメーヌ・ジャン・シャルトロンの単独所有であったが、現在はド・モンティーユやラ・プス・ドール、デ・ランブレイ、ミシェル・ブズロー、ボワイエ・マルテノなどが区画を所有する。歴史的には赤ワインも造られており、現在もジャン・シャルトロンがごく僅かにピノ・ノワールを維持しているが、大半はシャルドネが植えられ、極めて優れた白ワインを生む。
