Puligny-Montrachet, Domaine Jacques Carillon

This expertly crafted bottle of wine represents Puligny-Montrachet as a style incredibly well. On the nose it offers clean aromas of pear, stone fruit and brioche with the palate offering both elegance and fine acidity. Enjoy an abundance of fleshy peach, and a medium bodied mouthfeel that is particularly charming. 

A region, a grape variety, and land blessed by the gods. Three natural elements that combine to create exceptional wines. The vintner plays a critical role in creating a wine: it begins with the vines, and with time-honoured techniques, from pruning to harvesting. It continues in the wine cellar, where the wine ferments and ages.

The Carillon family has been making wine in the village of Puligny-Montrachet since the 16th century, beginning with Jehan Carillon, who was a vintner in Puligny in 1520. After completing his studies at the winemaking school in Beaune, France, Jacques Carillon joined his father in the family vineyard in 1980. His specializations include winemaking and marketing. In 2010, Jacques and his wife Sylvia founded the Jacques Carillon vineyard with 5.25 hectares of vines, primarily in the village of Puligny-Montrachet.
