Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2019-2024, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2017
0.5 ha next to Coche. Hard to work soil – almost like concrete. Mainly 50-year-old vines. Tank sample. Intense and vibrant nose. Stones and pretty ripe fruit combined. Very solid effort but one that could be broached fairly early. Long. (JR)

(from older vines; aging in a 350-liter Chassin barrel): Bright yellow. Tighter and more precise on the nose than the Clos du Vieux Château, showing an element of minerality. Then plush, fat and generous in the mouth, in a glyceral, somewhat exotic style. Lacks real distinction, though. Carillon describes this wine as having "premier cru level alcohol" (actually 13.5%) but I don't find premier cru level nuance or class.
