Jacques Carillon Description

The Carillon family traces its viticultural roots in Puligny back to the sixteenth century. There are documents from 1520 attesting to the presence in that locale of Jehan Carillon. The estate has always been run with a scrupulous regard and respect for the traditions of Burgundy and has achieved renown as a producer of the most classic, often understated but always compelling, wines of this village. The Carillons have always applied the most rigorous standards to their work in the vineyards, affecting a near organic methodology. No herbicides are used; the earth is turned by plow and by hand,

Jacques Carillon has the privilege of owning a small parcel (0.12 hectare) of this rare and sublime Grand Cru. The vines are 40 years of age. The wine is treated in a fashion similar to all the whites of this domaine; the exposure to new oak is limited to 20% during the fermentation and elevage. Production is clearly very limited; the wine itself is grand: rich but disciplined, long in the finish and mouth-coating in its palate presence. We have enjoyed this wine over the years at ten, fifteen and even twenty years of age.
