Summary
Carillon is a venerable name in Puligny-Montrachet, with documents dating back to 1520 that reference Carillons farming vines in the village. In 2010, the domaine known as Louis Carillon was divided between Louis’s two sons, Jacques and François, and both brothers now produce excellent wines under their own labels. The care in Jacques Carillon’s vineyards is evident; plowing is preferred to the use of herbicides, vines are re-planted by selection massale, and systemic fungicides are rarely used. This is an excellent name for reserved and elegant Puligny-Montrachets.
Style & Vinification Techniques
Jacques’s wines are known for their focus and reserve. After pressing, the juice is settled and transferred to barrel for fermentation and aging in a maximum of 10-25% new oak for 12 months. The wines are then racked and blended in stainless steel, where they rest on their fine lees for six months prior to bottling.
