2024 Jacques Carillon, Puligny-Montrachet

The Carillon family has a documented history of farming in Puligny-Montrachet dating back to 1520, and today Jacques Carillon continues this lineage by managing his domaine with a deep focus on the village's unique terroir. This wine is made from Chardonnay vines that average 40 to 45 years of age, rooted in the classic limestone-clay soils that define the identity of the appellation. In the glass, it reveals a focused profile of lemon zest, orchard fruit, and a distinct chalky minerality, supported by a textured, well-structured frame. The 2024 vintage was defined by a challenging growing season that resulted in a classical, high-acid style characterized by remarkable precision and energy. Built with the balance and tension required for successful aging, this wine is a sound addition for those seeking a pure, long-lived expression of its origin.
