Domaine François Carillon Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrieres 2020 Bouteille (75cl)
The 2020 Domaine François Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières is a white Burgundy wine made exclusively from Chardonnay. It comes from the Les Perrières climat, recognized among the premier crus of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation in the Côte de Beaune. François Carillon farms a portion of this historic climat, which originated from the division of the family estate starting with the 2010 vintage. This cuvée thus precisely identifies its parcel origin within the appellation.

Histoire du domaine
The Carillon family has been documented in Puligny-Montrachet since the 16th century: records mention Jean Carillon and his winemaking activity as early as 1520, while the year 1611, engraved on a stone in a family cellar, is featured today in the estate's identity. Following the phylloxera crisis, Prosper and Jeanne Carillon temporarily left the village to work in Chartres before returning; the vineyard was replanted after the First World War. In the 1960s, Louis Carillon gradually abandoned mixed farming and livestock to specialize in viticulture, primarily with Chardonnay. François Carillon took charge of the family vines starting in 1988 and worked alongside his father Louis and his brother Jacques. Following their final joint vintage in 2009, the Domaine Louis Carillon was divided between the two brothers: François established his own estate in 2010, initially comprising about 6.5 hectares. The operation has since expanded to over 16 hectares. François Carillon remains at the head of the estate, passing on his expertise to his four children.
Les Perrières (Puligny Montrachet)
Les Perrières is a climat officially classified as Premier Cru of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation, in the commune of Puligny-Montrachet. It is located in the northern part of the appellation's vineyard, between the sector of Le Montrachet to the south and Meursault-Charmes to the north. A producer data sheet dedicated to this climat describes very stony clay-limestone soils. The east and south-east exposure and the altitude of 230 to 320 meters published by the BIVB concern the entire appellation and therefore cannot be precisely attributed to the Les Perrières climat alone.
