A finely knit fabric of silky, perfumed fruit emerges from the 2010 Puligny-Montrachet. Carillon’s Puligny is a wine of gorgeous textural finesse and harmony. An attractive melange of yellow stone fruit and bright, saline notes melds into the expressive finish. This is another terrific, entry-level bottling. Anticipated maturity: 2012+.
These 2010s are the first wines Francois Carillon has made from start to finish on his own. Based on the wines I tasted, it looks like Francois’s wines are a little silkier than his brother Jacques’s wines. I also tasted the 2011s, which are shaping up beautifully. As of 2011, the range will include two new premier crus from Chassagne-Montrachet: Clos St. Jean and Chenevottes, great news for fans of this ‘new’ domaine.
