2022 Jacques Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Perrieres’

Carillon owns just over a hectare of 40-year-old vines in this enviably located cru just south of Les Referts on the slope, in the northern sector of Puligny. Perrires tends to show a more pungent limestone essence than the Champs Canet: sleeker and less rich, but more overpowering in its overall carriage due to its electric acid-mineral interplay. The finish is tightly coiled, dominating the palate with chalky intensity and suggesting many years of upside.
