Citrus, green apple, white flowers, peach, and a saline stony finish — seven years old and showing beautiful tension between freshness and developing complexity. 100% Chardonnay blended from seven village lieux-dits. 15% new oak, barrels rotated on a six-year cycle, aged one year in barrel then six months in steel. Hand-harvested. Farmed with near-organic practices but not certified. Estimated 1,000-1,500 cases produced. The Carillon family has been in Puligny-Montrachet since 1520. Jacques split from his brother François around 2010 and now works 5.25 hectares across eleven small parcels. His motto: "We want length, not breadth." At seven years old this should be drinking beautifully right now with years still ahead.
