Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2023 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is powerful and satiny, delivering nots of pear, orange oil, nutmeg, spices and white flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and muscular palate that's rich and textural.
About the Producer
Always bound by his village and vines, Jehan Carillon was already a winemaker in 1520. Sylvia and Jacques are produced from 5 hectares/12.5 acres of land, exclusively planted in the best climate of Puligny-Montrachet. All wines come from our own vineyards. Puligny-Montrachet is a historic village, a symbol of Burgundy viticulture. It is part of the extraordinary Côte de Beaune, Chardonnay Paradise. Considered to be the main production area of the most complex white wines in the world, benefiting from the most famous terroirs. Vinification and aging are done in oak barrels. Pressing and settling for 12 to 18 hours before the juice is rolled into barrels, where alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place The style of Jacques Carillon is very classic in all its nuances, maintaining a balance between the power, sophistication and mineral sophistication that characterize the Jacques Carillon terroir.
