Jacques Carillon Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet 2014

Jacques Carillon Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet 2014 This traditional estate in the Côte de Beaune is characterized by a strict philosophy of minimal intervention and a focus on old vines. The specific Champ Canet parcel features gravelly clay layers with high water retention capacity, which lends the must impressive minerality and a solid structure. The 2014 vintage was shaped by cool summer days and late frost nights, which naturally resulted in less juice in the grapes. This climatic feature results in a remarkably straight, vibrant wine with pronounced citric acidity, ensuring its long-term ageability.

The tasting initially reveals intense aromas of green fruit, apple peel, and wild blossoms, mingling with subtle nutty and ashy notes. On the palate, the wine presents itself as incredibly precise, very direct, and with an impeccable balance between fruitiness and mineral sharpness. Thanks to this compact structure, secondary notes of yellow peach and beeswax rapidly unfold when consciously allowed to breathe. For connoisseurs, the optimal drinking window is currently until 2032, offering a wide range of enjoyment. Recommended pairings include herb-crusted monkfish, grilled seafood, or semi-hard cheeses like aged Parmesan.
