Tasting notes
The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Village has quite a stern, earthy bouquet that does not seem to possess the same precision as the prenatal 2018. The palate is very well balanced, offering fine acidity and green apples mixed with a touch of fresh asparagus toward the crisp finish. Fine.

Carillon's 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Village is showing well from bottle, wafting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of fresh pear, peach, white flowers and wheat toast. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and racy, with a charming and expressive core of fruit, fine tension and a mineral finish.
In tank since the end of August and will be bottled in March. A blend of seven lieux-dits. 15% new oak, the older barrels up to six years old. Intense and pure citrus and green fruits. ‘We want length not breadth’, says Jacques Carillon. At the moment really fruity but it will become more stony/mineral. Tight and long and so pure. Impressive intensity, streamlined. (JH)
