Francois Carillon

Francois Carillon is a small family domaine based in Puligny-Montrachet, one of Burgundy's most prestigious white wine villages. The domaine produces exclusively white wines from its vineyard holdings in the Côte de Beaune, focusing on the Chardonnay-based wines that define the appellation.

Puligny-Montrachet is renowned for producing some of the world's most elegant and age-worthy dry white wines. The village's terroir—characterized by limestone-rich soils and a continental climate—naturally favors the production of refined, mineral-driven Chardonnays with notable complexity and structure. Domaine Carillon's current range includes Premier Cru bottlings, which represent vineyard sites with distinctive characteristics and consistent quality standards within the appellation.

The domaine's 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes Premier Cru exemplifies the style associated with the house: a white Burgundy from a classified vineyard site with the precision and balance expected from quality producers in this region.
