The Carillon family has a winemaking history dating back to 1520, with Jacques Carillon being at the helm for decades. Jacques Carillon has been working here since the 80s, but the family estate was split in 2010 when his brother Francois took his portion of the vines to create his own estate. Jacques is the more classic of the two, and these are beautiful, focused wines that age very well, showing excellent terroir expression. His winemaking style also focuses on minimal intervention, with hand harvesting and minimal use of new oak. The vines for the Puligny AC here are, on average, 40+ years old and show a delicate profile with excellent supporting richness, acidity, and mineral expression. 2023 is one of the top examples here of all time, with beautiful ripeness from the vintage complementing the outstanding acidity. It's one that is going to do very well in the cellar, and yet can be approached now if desired, and is a great buy from Jacques Carillon! Don't miss these last bottles!
John Gilman 91 points! "The 2023 Puligny villages bottling from Monsieur Carillon is a beautiful wine in the making, that will certainly be drinkable from the moment it is released, but really will deserve at least a couple of years in the cellar to blossom and show off some of its secondary layers. The bouquet is flat out gorgeous today, offering up scents of lemon, apple, chalky soil tones, citrus zest, acacia blossoms and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, complex and nicely racy, with a beautiful core of fruit, lovely soil inflection, excellent balance and a long, focused and zesty finish. (Drink between 2027-2050)"
Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy) 90 points! "Mid lemon yellow. Starts with the juicy warmth of the vintage and then takes on a little more reductive spice and grip. This has some of the floral prettiness of Puligny but kicks on to a broader weightier style. Enough acidity, good length too, just a little warmth."
