2022 Jacques Carillon Puligny-Montrachet
SKU: B174
Regular price $114.95The Carillons have always applied the most rigorous standards to their work in the vineyards, affecting a near-organic methodology. No herbicides are used; the earth is turned by the plow and by hand, the vines are pruned short to control production, a severe debudding is practiced and a green harvest is practiced when deemed necessary. Harvest is always manual, a pneumatic press is utilized, fermentation and elevage occur in a barrel for at least one year, batonnage is done, and before bottling, the wines are racked into stainless steel cuves for six months to settle and clarify. The dual goals are to produce age-worthy wines that are intensely expressive of their respective terroirs. They have managed to achieve those goals with stunning regularity.
Jacques Carillon produces wine from 5.5 hectares with the overwhelming majority of the vineyards being situated within Puligny-Montrachet with additional holdings in Chassagne Montrachet, Saint Aubin, and Mercurey.
