Presentation
The Carillon family is one of the oldest in Puligny-Montrachet, its establishment dating back to the 16th century. In 2010, the estate was founded by Jacques Carillon following the split of the family estate managed by his father, Louis. Today, the estate exploits 5.5 hectares of vines, mainly located in Puligny-Montrachet. The vines are cultivated in a reasoned struggle, with controlled yields and entirely manual harvesting. Aging is done in oak barrels with a balanced percentage of new wood, giving the wines beautiful complexity while respecting the purity of Chardonnay. The estate is an essential reference for lovers of great white Burgundies, offering wines of great finesse, marked by chiselled minerality and superb longevity.
