The 2024 Domaine Jacques Carillon Puligny-Montrachet is a classic village Chardonnay assembled from parcels across seven different lieux-dits. It opens with refined aromas of lemon zest, grapefruit and crisp green apple, joined by pear, hawthorn, acacia blossom and a discreet touch of spicy oak.
On the palate, it is precise, poised and beautifully layered. Bright citrus and orchard fruit are carried by focused acidity and a firm limestone-mineral backbone, while a gently creamy texture adds depth through the mid-palate. The oak remains restrained, and the finish is long, dry and chalky with lingering grapefruit and wet-stone notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark expression of Puligny-Montrachet for those who value purity, tension and understated elegance. It remains slightly reserved in its youth, so enjoy after 30–45 minutes of aeration or cellar through 2035 for greater complexity. Ideal with scallops, lobster, grilled langoustines, Dover sole, roast chicken with mushrooms or mature Comté.
