In a wonderful place right now. Has a little toast and white mushroom development. It is loaded with citrus fruits and has just the right amount of struck match reduction. There's good fruit intensity and mineral precision. It has a suggestion of apricot and it finishes with saline mineral tang.

Carillon is carillon, and Jacques is carrying the torch proudly (and very well). His first vintage - there seems to be a seamless transition between his father and him. Very good wine (I had to check that I didn't open one the 1ers by mistake)!

Burgundy, Day 2 (Beaune, France): At La Lune. Perfectly aged. No signs of premox, but this is definitely showing a little bit of age as it should. The nose is fresh and clear, with outstanding concentration for the level. Served blind, it's possible I would have confused this with a 1er cru. There's certainly a lovely amount of precision here, and while there's a sappiness that draws away from the minerality, this still has plenty of tension and vivacity to it.

Bottles drunk with lunch or dinner while in Burgundy; 2/10/2020-2/14/2020 (Burgundy): Happy to encounter a well-aged and ready wine on a wine list in Beaune. This punches nicely above its weight class with good concentration and depth of flavor. Classically Puligny with floral and mineral laced orchard fruit. No rush to drink. 90-91
