Jacques Carillon

The Carillon family traces its viticultural roots in Puligny back to the sixteenth century. There are documents from 1520 attesting to the presence in that locale of Jehan Carillon. The estate has always been run with a scrupulous regard and respect for the traditions of Burgundy and has achieved renown as a producer of the most classic wines of this village. Now, beginning with the 2010 vintage, the estate has been divided in two to be shared between Jacques and Francois, the two sons of Louis Carillon. 

The Carillons have always applied the most rigorous standards to their work in the vineyards, affecting a near organic methodology. No herbicides are used; the earth is turned by plow and by hand, the vines are pruned short to control production, a severe de-budding is practiced and a green harvest is practiced when deemed necessary.
