Generous yet finely etched, Francois Carillon’s 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes Premier Cru layers ripe, almost exotic orchard fruit with notes of buttered pastry and toasted hazelnut, all kept in check by precise acidity and a long, persistent finish. The vintage shows a touch of warmth and density, but the wine remains beautifully balanced and poised rather than heavy.

Puligny‑Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Combettes” from François Carillon is a Chardonnay from a small, brown, stony clay‑limestone parcel (c.0.7–0.8 ha) that yields an elegant, floral and citrus‑driven wine with a tactile, saline minerality and a dense, supple mid‑palate. François ages the wine in barrel with a modest proportion of new oak, producing a refined, long‑keeping Puligny that balances precision and texture and is built for mid‑ to long‑term cellaring.
