Domaine François Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 2022

This linear white burgundy is composed of a beautiful acidity which underlines and prolongs aromas of white peach and the long citrus finish. A great representation of a fantastic 2022 vintage across the village of Puligny-Montrachet.

-

Varietal: 100% Chardonnay

Sourced fromfrom four hectares of vines, spread over 8 different localities: Derrière la Velle, Reuchaux, Corvée, Levrons, Aubues, Tremblots, Noyer Bret and Rousselles. The vinification is done in the traditional Burgundian style, with fermentation taking place in small oak casks. The wine is then aged in Allier oak.

Tasting Notes: Beautifully aromatic, with all the floral character one could hope for. This has a brilliantly light touch despite the energy and the intensity. I think it is going to be a show-stopper. Excellent natural acidity as well. (Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy))

About Domaine Francois Carillon: The Carillon family Domaine has a rich winemaking history dating  back to the 16th century as the polycultural and livestock breeding farmland of Jean Carillon. After the First World War, Louis Carillon replanted the entire estate in order to focus solely on viticulture. In 1988, François began to oversee the estate alongside his father and brother, Jacques, until the estate was split between them in 2010. Since establishing his own wine estate, François has become a renown reference in Puligny-Montrachet for his refined, elegant, and timeless wines.
