Description
The 2023 Domaine Jacques Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Canet is a masterclass in tensile strength and aromatic complexity, capturing the unique “border” character of a vineyard that sits alongside Meursault-Perrières. Leveraging 40-year-old vines, Carillon has produced a wine of impressive density and “coiled spring” energy, balancing ripe orchard fruits with a defiantly mineral undertow.
Winemaker Jacques Carillon’s signature regime one year in oak followed by six months in tank results in a sophisticated profile of acacia flowers, lemon zest, and toasted nuts, all supported by a vibrant acidity. Hailed by critics as one of the most successful wines of the vintage, this 94-point Premier Cru offers a seductive, silky texture today but possesses the structural depth to age gracefully through 2040.
