Domaine François Carillon: Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Perrières'

The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Perrières' from Domaine François Carillon is the epitome of fine white Burgundy. Sourced from a prestigious Premier Cru vineyard known for its rocky, limestone-rich soil, this wine is a masterclass in elegance, purity, and mineral intensity. It represents the pinnacle of Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune.

Tasting Notes

Expect a wine of remarkable focus and tension. The nose is complex and racy, with layers of white peach, crisp green apple, grapefruit sorbet, and a distinct flinty, chalky minerality. The palate is superbly balanced: rich and creamy yet cut by a vibrant, elegant acidity that carries the flavour through a precise, long, and saline finish. It’s a wine that speaks directly of its stony, high-altitude terroir.

Food Pairing & Decanting

Serve slightly cool (12-14°C). While delicious upon release, this wine benefits immensely from cellar time.

• Classic Pairings: Dover Sole Meunière, Grilled Turbot, Baked Crab, or a classic Roast Chicken with a tarragon cream sauce.
• Storage: An investment wine. Lay down for 10+ years to witness its magnificent evolution.
