François Carillon in Champ Gain

François Carillon describes his largest vineyard, Champ-Gain, situated towards the top of the côte in Puligny-Montrachet. The soils are stony, smaller stones where were were standing part way up the vineyard and some larger flatter stones below. There is plenty of clay here too. When we filmed on a rainy day in late May, the soil was claggy. It lies at 300m up the 450m slope and here the temperature dips at night, retaining the acidity in the grapes. It makes a refined wine with a hint of white flowers and a bright line of acidity. The 2013 is fresh, floral and elegant. Even in the pouring rain the birds were singing and there are wild flowers and a sense of more seclusion. François loves this vineyard where he feels in touch with the nature around him. It is a special place. “It’s perfect,” he says.
