Louis Carillon1er Cru Les Combettes Puligny-Montrachet 2008
About this product
Carillon is a historic name in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation in the heat of Burgundy's Cote-de-Beaune due to being involved in winemaking in the area since 1520. 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 Combettes is a powerful styled wine with rich and intense flavour profile. History and the vintage conditions would suggest the 2008 is a perfect cellaring opportunity.

(from a .52 ha parcel). The intensely floral nose displays acacia and citrus blossom notes that complement the elegant, pure and attractively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess good volume and power but not the elegance, length or overall sense of depth. To be sure this is a lovely effort that is indisputably finer than the Champs Canet but not quite as harmonious or persistent.
