A rich and concentrated shade of yellow. Citrus nose, especially lemon, and nutty. Not exactly a beautiful and elegant version of PM, but rather bolsterous. Would have guessed a Meursault. Searing acidity... a bit too much for me. Prefer the Jacques Carillon! — 7 years ago
Fantastic wine and value. Great to have this just before the Puligny — 10 years ago

2001. Rip Jacques. — 12 years ago
Jacques is the farmer of the two brothers and his wine shows restraint if such can be said of such rich layered and complex wine. At 12 years young this is showing it’s Grand Cru pedigree. Sublime in this case is hardly an exaggeration. — 7 years ago
Niiiccce. Huge limestone and contrasting canned pineapple and pear. Monster wine, lots of material here but still waiting to integrate. — 9 years ago

2011 Francois Carillon Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru: from Jay. Fifth from the Left in Picture - Lovely rich golden color. Quite an attractive wine to observe although its color contradicts its youth. Very rich on the nose. There is great depth here. You're immediately aware that something special is resting in your glass. Roasted hazelnuts, acacia, quince and a touch of lemon zest present on the nose with hints of honeysuckle. On the palette this wine is lush with incredible concentration and depth. It envelopes the mouth completely with fabulous viscosity. The wine dominates the mid palette with a punch akin to Iron Mike Tyson at his prime. The finish is not as robust but it remains profound for a wine of this age with superb minerality all the way through. The wine is very well balanced although the oak has yet to fully integrate. With time this will be an exceptional wine and the acidity should afford it the ability to age wonderfully. This is a true wine lovers wine. Bravo! - tremendous effort. Drink 2017 onwards. 96+/100

Puligny in Mercurey, before the brothers split. — 11 years ago
Incredible intensity. Less precision than a Jacques Carillon, but powerful minerality and white stone fruit. A touch of marzipan. — 7 years ago
This is actually Jacques Carillon Chassagne-Montrachet 2015. The classic Carillon rich and supple nose is there along with the racy acidity and creamy lemon. There is a small cloying hint of honeysuckle, may be a reason this was downgraded from 1er Cru (or blended cross-vineyard). Still quite drinkable and a good price. — 8 years ago
2010 was a great vintage for Francois to break out. Clean, precise lines with silky texture. Picture a cube inside a sphere. — 13 years ago
