Domaine François Carillon Bourgogne Blanc 2022

A taste of Burgundian terroir, François Carillon's Bourgogne Blanc 2022 is a Chardonnay that embodies the region's elegance. This white wine offers a harmonious blend of citrus, orchard fruit, and floral notes, with a subtle minerality that lingers on the palate.

-

Varietal: 100% Chardonnay

Sourced from three plots with old vines (33-59 years) located in Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. Following the harvest, the wine is taken directly to ferment in small oak barrels (less than 10% new oak), where it spends nearly a year and undergoes a light bâtonnage. It is blended and bottled about 16 months after harvest. 

-

Tasting Notes: Golden, luminous color. Rich and fresh aromas of yellow peaches play against a salty mineral backdrop. The palate is full of juicy, delicious fruit with a refreshing finish. A standout and opulent 'village' level that highlights rich flavors and a bright, effusive style.

About Domaine Francois Carillon: The Carillon family Domaine has a rich winemaking history dating  back to the 16th century as the polycultural and livestock breeding farmland of Jean Carillon. After the First World War, Louis Carillon replanted the entire estate in order to focus solely on viticulture. In 1988, François began to oversee the estate alongside his father and brother, Jacques, until the estate was split between them in 2010. Since establishing his own wine estate, François has become a renown reference in Puligny-Montrachet for his refined, elegant, and timeless wines.
