Reviewed June 2020Sweet Spot Outstanding!!* A restrained nose reluctantly exposes its aromas of mineral reduction, acacia, orange and tangerine peel plus a whiff of white peach. The racy, intense and beautifully textured flavors exude a fine bead of minerality on the sneaky long and slightly more complex finale. This stylish effort is a wine of finesse and class.

Wine Advocate
Carillon began his harvest with the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes, an expressive wine that offers up aromas of orange oil, ripe pears, nutmeg and honeycomb. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and fragrant, with good energy and a muscular core of fruit. This has also turned out well. (WK)
Notes
91-93 points Jasper Morris for Inside Burgundy: "This shows the weight of a wine that wants to be a Meursault. It is rather heavier than the Folatières, and has taken on a slight biscuit character from the wood. It has the opulence but a little less the finesse – at this stage of its upbringing."
