Francois Carillon - Puligny-Montrachet 2023

Since 2010, François Carillon has been running his own estate, which now covers around 14 hectares, mainly in Puligny, Chassagne and Saint-Aubin. The wines are authentic, generous and clean, with minimal doses of sulphites, in total control, crystalline and full of minerality, resulting from a phenomenal work in the vineyard with a very demanding soil work. Already a great reference in Puligny Montrachet, much sought after by wine lovers.

Puligny-Montrachet village comes from four hectares of vines, spread over 8 different localities: Derrière la Velle, Reuchaux, Corvée, Levrons, Aubues, Tremblots, les Noyer Bret and les Rousselles. This linear wine is composed of a beautiful acidity which highlights and prolongs aromas of white peach with a long citrus finish.Age of vines: 19 to 49 years. Soils: Clays and limestones

"Usually coming from 8 plots, but as François has made more parcellaire bottlings in 2023 there are just 6 this year. Mid lemon yellow, slightly toasty. Clearly stricter after the Chassagnes. Nicely balanced, with medium generosity and length. The class shows at the finish, with precision. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024." 90-92 points, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy
