Louis CarillonPuligny-Montrachet Les Champs Canet 2008
About this product
The Carillon name carries with it tradition and a reputation for sheer quality and elegance. Located in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation in the heat of Burgundy's Cote-de-Beaune, the Carillon's have been involved in wine production for over 300 years! Brother Jacques and Francois currently are the caretakers of the estate named after their father, Louis, and year in, year out make some of the most consistently brilliant wines in Puligny. The 2008 Les Champs Canet is a typically rich and powerful Chardonnay, but is slightly more elegant that it's premier cru cousins.

(40+ year old vines; aged in 20% new wood). Here the nose is noticeably finer compared to that of the villages with an elegant and pure aromatic profile of dried floral notes and ample citrus influence that carries over to the stony, detailed and refined flavors that possess real verve and precision on the solidly persistent and naturally sweet finish. This understated effort is Zen-like in its poise and balance.
