Tasting notes
I have drunk all of Carillon's premiers crus in this vintage recently, and the finest is clearly the 2009 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières, a lovely wine that wafts from the glass with aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, pastry cream and toasted almonds. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and complete, it's the most layered and concentrated wine in the range, with elegant structuring dry extract and lively balancing acids.

Last of the Louis Carillon wines. Hint of coffee on the nose. Richness here. Open and round and easy. Big and less concentrated than some. Still lots of freshness but perhaps a bit simpler than some. Lightly floral. Tastes almost sweet. (JR)
Pale yellow. White peach and minerals on the nose. Fat on entry, then silky and plush in the middle, with a saline minerality to the dried peach flavor. Rather closed today and less pure than the Combettes. Also more large than long. Does this have the structure to repay aging?
Pretty light on the nose. Medium weight. Solid stuff though a little sweet and stolid. Not much lift or really defining character.
