The primary aromas of this white Burgundy are ample, with notes of white stone fruit highlighted by a summery minerality. Generous and flexible, it is a crowd-pleaser that can be enjoyed upon release. The vinification is done in the traditional Burgundian style, with fermentation taking place in small oak casks.

“A gorgeous wine, the 2017 Puligny-Montrachet by Francois Carillon opens with a beautiful bouquet of white flowers and crushed diatomaceous earth with shades of clove and Key lime zest that all mingle nicely in the glass. The verve and tension in the wine is gorgeous, as gobs of racy acidity greet
you. Bright lemon rind, French baguette and underlying diatomaceous earth tones all collide on the palate. Highly gratifying in its youth, this beautiful wine has many years ahead of it.”
