Tasting note: A high-toned and very fresh nose of spiced pear, rose petal and hints of clove and anise merge into elegant, pure, detailed and classy flavors that are supported by a well-integrated acid spice that culminate in an intensely mineral infused and driving finish that offers excellent length. This is quite dry and clean with real personality that doesn't have the sheer depth of the best here but still, it is an impressive effort that is textbook Perrières. (91pts. Allen Meadows aka The Burghound )

Tasting note: Apricot, peach, and lemon in the nose of the Carillon 2007 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrieres – from the southern fringe of that site, up against Boillot’s monopole Clos de la Mouchere – lead to a palate of sappy fruit generosity and sassy acidity, with saline, chalky, and subtly bitter peach kernel undertones. The combination of relative fullness and silken texture with sheer exuberance of fruit and strong mineral cast recommend this for immediate enjoyment, but I suspect it should keep well for at least a half-dozen more years.
