Francois Carillon - Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières 2022 (750ml)

Jasper Morris 93-96 points
"Fine bright mid lemon. The bouquet is discreet but powerful this is the one which needs waiting for, it just offers that little bit extra, a very complete rendition in François Carillon’s forthright style. Retasting the last three, the Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières definitely has it all. Bravo!"

"This powerful, thrilling wine has ripe green apple and pear aromas and hints of flint, smoke, and spice. A racy acidity, even from the heat of the 2022 vintage, carries the impressively dense extract to an interminable finish. The grapes are from two parcels that François Carillon farms in the centre of Puligny Perrières, north of Boillot's monopole Clos de la Mouchère. They are pressed as whole clusters and fermented in cask (15% new), where they age for a year, followed by a further year in tank."
