The Carillon family has been making wine in the village of Puligny-Montrachet since the 16th century, beginning with Jehan Carillon, who was a vintner in Puligny in 1520. After completing his studies at the winemaking school in Beaune, France, Jacques Carillon joined his father in the family vineyard in 1980. His specializations include winemaking and marketing.

In 2010, Jacques and his wife Sylvia founded the Jacques Carillon vineyard with 5.25 hectares of vines, primarily in the village of Puligny-Montrachet. Unfortunately, the Domaine's production is very small, given notoriety and a craze now worldwide for its wines, real paragons of what must be a great timeless Puligny-Montrachet!

Jacques Carillon currently manages around 0.56 hectares in the 1er Cru vineyard known as "Perrieres." The vines, averaging 28 years in age, are rooted in clay-limestone soils. Fermentation and maturation take place in small oak barrels, with 20% being new. This wine is considered one of the richest and most expansive among the domaine's 1er Cru Pulignys, showcasing a striking minerality.
