Francois Carillon, Puligny Montrachet other_regions_australia A first sample of this

A first sample of this wine showed some porty high tones but this one is refined and pure

That linear flinty note is just terrific

This bottle was refilled once by Franco in either 2000 or 2001

The 2010 Cheval des Andes is produced with grapes grown at an old vineyard (planted in 1929) at Las Compuertas

Francois Carillon, Puligny Montrachet other_regions_australia A first sample of this(from 8 different lieux dits that total a whopping 5 ha). There is a whiff of the exotic in the form of passion fruit present on the acacia blossom and citrus peel inflected nose. There is again very good volume as well as a relatively sophisticated mouthfeel to the middle weight flavors where the seductive and lingering finish is supported by a moderately firm acid spine. This is an excellent Puligny villages and recommended.
