2022 Domaine Jacques Carillon, Puligny-Montrachet, Burgundy, France Bastide Blanche and lightly tannicJacques Puligny Montrachet comes from eleven small parcels in seven different sites scattered throughout the appellation, with vines averaging forty years of age. Jacques operates on a six year barrel rotation for his villages level wines, and the modest 15% new oak allows the limestone essence typical in Carillon to shine through. The '21 is lean and quite long, showing youthful verve and a stern minerality that will repay a few years of cellaring.
