2019 François Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes: A Rare Expression of Burgundy’s Finest
Hailing from the prestigious Puligny-Montrachet appellation in Burgundy, this exceptional Chardonnay from François Carillon is a testament to the region’s renowned viticultural heritage. Crafted from 1er Cru vines in Les Combettes lieu-dit, this 2019 vintage delivers a masterclass in balance and complexity, earning critical acclaim with 94 points from Wine Advocate and 93 points from Burghound.
Opening with elegant aromas of vanilla-infused orchard fruits, honeyed citrus, and delicate white florals, this wine captivates the senses before revealing its true depth on the palate. Full-bodied yet agile, it showcases layers of ripe stone fruit, toasted brioche, and a subtle mineral undertone—a hallmark of its terroir-driven character. While still youthful and reserved in its evolution (élevage), its structure hints at immense aging potential, promising to evolve gracefully over a decade or more in the cellar.
Ideal for connoisseurs seeking a refined Burgundy Chardonnay with both power and finesse, this wine pairs beautifully with rich seafood dishes, aged cheeses, or as a standalone expression of France’s white wine excellence. At 14.5% alcohol, it strikes a harmonious balance between richness and elegance.
A standout in François Carillon’s portfolio, Les Combettes distinguishes itself through its classic Combettes profile—dense yet nuanced—with a finish that lingers on notes of bitter lemon zest and toasted nuts. Whether enjoyed now with patience or cellared for future enjoyment, this limited-release gem is a must-have for collectors of fine Burgundy.
