The Jacques Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Canet 2021 is a stunning white Burgundy that showcases the precision and refinement for which Jacques Carillon is renowned. Sourced from the esteemed Les Champs Canet vineyard, this Premier Cru site sits on the northern edge of Puligny-Montrachet, bordered by Meursault’s Perrières, and benefits from stony, limestone-rich soils that impart exceptional minerality and finesse. The 2021 vintage, characterized by a cooler growing season, produced wines of remarkable tension, clarity, and vibrant acidity.

On the nose, this wine reveals an enticing bouquet of citrus zest, white peach, and green apple, complemented by floral notes of acacia and a touch of almond. Subtle hints of wet stones, hazelnut, and delicate spice emerge with time, reflecting its terroir-driven complexity. The palate is crystalline and precise, with a seamless integration of bright acidity and a creamy texture. Its mineral backbone and energetic structure lead to a long, focused finish, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and purity.

This wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as seared scallops, roasted halibut, or a classic sole meunière. It is approachable in its youth for its vibrant fruit and freshness but will reward cellaring over the next 8–12 years, evolving into a richer and more complex expression. The Jacques Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Canet 2021 is a benchmark example of the brilliance of Puligny-Montrachet, reflecting both the excellence of its Premier Cru terroir and the meticulous craftsmanship of Jacques Carillon.
