Producer Information

Domaine Franois Carillon is a Burgundy wine estate based in Puligny-Montrachet, focusing on wines made from Chardonnay. It was formed in 2010 when Franois and his brother Jacques decided to divide their father’s estate, Domaine Louis Carillon, which had been regarded as one of the very finest in the village. The Carillon family’s history in winegrowing in the area can be traced back to at least 1700. The estate consists of around 6.5 hectares (16 acres) of vineyards, around three-quarters of which are in Puligny-Montrachet. This includes parcels in four Premier Cru vineyards, including in Les Champs Gains and Les Folatires, as well as a few precious rows of Chevalier Montrachet. Carillon also has plots in Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin, as well as producing a Puligny-Montrachet village wine. Franois Carillon’s cellars are situated in former family houses in the heart of Puligny village. The white wines are all produced with the same methods, initially fermenting for four to six weeks, and then spending a year in barrel. Only the proportion of new oak (up to 25 percent) varies with each appellation.
