François Carillon’s Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères 2023 is a village-level white Burgundy that trades heavily on its address. Les Enseignères is a well-sited Puligny lieu-dit that sits “directly below the grand crus Bâtard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet,” according to Gourmet Hunters, and that proximity helps explain why the site is often discussed in premier cru terms even without the classification. This 2023 is confirmed as 100% Chardonnay and comes in at 13.5% alcohol.

In the glass, the published tasting note emphasizes precision over overt richness. Gourmet Hunters describes the wine as “clean, taut, and precise,” with citrus detail that leans toward “kumquat” and “pink grapefruit,” plus “a floral echo.” Oak appears to be a background seasoning rather than a headline: the same source mentions “brioche hints,” which suggests some barrel and lees influence without pushing into obvious toast or sweetness. Structurally, the finish is presented as a key strength—“a long saline finish with chalky minerality,” again per Gourmet Hunters—pointing to the classic Puligny interplay of citrus, restrained texture, and mineral drive.

Winemaking details provided by Gourmet Hunters indicate a fairly traditional, measured élevage: the wine is fermented and undergoes malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, then aged “12 months on lees in French oak (15% new)” followed by “6 months in foudres.” The low percentage of new oak and the extended maturation time align with the site-driven, tension-first profile described in the note.

As for critical reception, there are currently no verified professional scores or published critic reviews for the 2023 vintage of this specific bottling in the materials provided. That absence shouldn’t be read as a negative; it simply means the wine’s reputation here rests more on its terroir and its described style than on headline ratings.
