The name of Carillon is now synonymous with the best of Puligny-Montrachet. Louis Carillon continued his family’s centuries long tradition of producing excellent wines that focus on the taut minerality of Chardonnay from this famous village. In 2010 the estate was split between the brothers Jacque and François.

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...
Carillon owns just over a hectare of 40-year-old vines in this enviably located cru just south of Les Referts on the slope, in the northern sector of Puligny. Perrières tends to show a more pungent limestone essence than the Champs Canet: sleeker and less rich, but more overpowering in its overall carriage due to its electric acid-mineral interplay. The finish is tightly coiled, dominating the palate with chalky intensity and suggesting many years of upside.
