Description
What kind of wine it is
Jacques Carillon Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrieres is a white wine of great structure, an authentic expression of pure Chardonnay. On the palate, this wine stands out for a tasting profile that harmoniously combines richness, fullness, and a pronounced mineral character.

Where it comes from
This wine originates in the heart of Burgundy, within the Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru area. The grapes come exclusively from the Les Perrières climat, cultivated in a small plot of just 0.61 hectares. The vines, with an average age of 42 years, sink their roots into soil that gives the wine its characteristic tension and aromatic concentration. The interaction between these old vines and the geological features of the area defines a clear identity, capable of expressing the character of its origin through a distinct savouriness.
How it is produced
The production process is distinguished by careful ageing lasting a total of eighteen months. Initially, the wine rests for twelve months in barrels, with 20% new oak used to encourage structural development without overpowering the varietal notes. Subsequently, maturation continues for six months in stainless steel tanks, a technical choice aimed at preserving maximum aromatic definition. Before bottling, a light filtration is carried out, essential to maintain the overall balance of the wine.
