The Carillon family has a presence in Côte de Beaune that dates back to 1632; winemaking has been passed down from father to son since then. Francois started looking after the family vineyards in 1988 and worked together with his father Louis and brother Jacques until 2010, when the estate was split between the two brothers. Since 2010, Francois has become renowned for the quality of his wines. Supported by a dynamic and cohesive team of a dozen people, François deploys his energy and enthusiasm to farm his 16 hectares of vineyards, located in Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Saint Aubin, and improve on his wines’ quality and elegance. He ensures the future of the vineyard by transmitting his know-how and love of his work to his four children.*

93 points, Jasper Morris, MW, Inside Burgundy:
"The 2022 Puligny is beautifully aromatic, with all the floral character one could hope for. This has a brilliantly light touch despite the energy and the intensity. I think it is going to be a showstopper. Excellent natural acidity as well. Drink from 2026-2032."

92 points, Wine Spectator:
"A sleek, tensile white, boasting flavors of lemon and lime blossoms, plus a touch of citronella. Though subtle, this shows fine harmony and intensity through the lingering, mineral-tinged aftertaste. Drink now through 2032."
