Pre Arrival Jacques Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 2024

Notes:

(from 11 different parcels in 7 lieux-dits scattered about Puligny with an overall average vine age of approximately 40+ years). A discreet touch of reduction quickly lifts to reveal cool citrus, white flowers and a limpid, almost crystalline freshness. The palate impression of the middle weight flavors is notably pure while displaying a subtle minerality on the impressively long, chiseled and balanced finale. This quietly elegant effort is already appealing, though it should easily reward a few years of patience. Excellent quality here for its level and very much worth your interest.

As is usual, the village Puligny has not yet been fully assembled, so we tasted its component parts, now in their various tanks. The first tank is quite exotically perfumed, lime blossom too, fresh and with good acidity, with a softer charm to the fruit behind. The second shows a lime tint to the colour, less exotic fruit, fresh apples, a little more density. The third tank hasn’t fallen clear yet, so crisply reductive, before a pure orchard fruit behind. A little more substance overall. Good length here. The fourth also not quite clear., showing the most weight to the nose, and indeed body on the palate. Overall, this should be an attractive and even reasonably substantial Puligny, which will be accessible quite early. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2025. Jasper Morris 89-91
