Domaine François Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 2020

This is a white Puligny-Montrachet from Domaine François Carillon, made from vines planted in 1967 across 11 named plots totalling 3 hectares, just below the first slopes of Puligny. The subsoil is rich in clay, which often gives structured wines with a mineral character. The wine spends 12 months in small oak barrels, 15% of them new, then 6 months in stainless steel tanks, and is only lightly filtered before bottling. The nose is deep and crisp, with apricot, white peach and lime. On the palate it is very pure and ringing, with good minerality and freshness. It pairs well with shellfish such as lobster, crab claws and oysters, or with fish, particularly with an Asian touch.
