2023 Domaine Jacques Carillon, Puligny-Montrachet, Burgundy, France Stephan Steinmetz and a subtle peppery warmthJacques 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.
