Tasting Notes

Vinous 92

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru is very austere and Zen-like on the nose – you would think this comes from a much cooler season. The palate is conversely effervescent on the entry with tangy orange peel and a touch of mandarin. More saline towards the finish with a fine twist of sour lemon that lingers on the aftertaste. This is the pick of Francois Carillon s 2018s at the Burgfest tasting. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. [Neal Martin, 22/11/2022]

Anticipated maturity: 2024-2048

Robert Parker 92

Carillon began his harvest with the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes, an expressive wine that offers up aromas of orange oil, ripe pears, nutmeg and honeycomb. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny and fragrant, with good energy and a muscular core of fruit. This has also turned out well. [William Kelley, 31/01/2020]
