How to serve it
Tasting notes
Bright pale gold. White flowers lead on the nose, with citrus and a subtle touch of oak. The palate is textured and mineral, with a saline edge, intense and expressive fruit and a fine, detailed structure that carries into a long, clean finish.
About this wine
François Carillon belongs to a family that has tended vines in Puligny-Montrachet since the 16th century; the year 1611, carved into a stone in one of the cellars, still appears on the estate's logo. In 2010 François and his brother Jacques divided the family holdings and Domaine François Carillon was born, today farming more than 16 hectares, around 90% of them Chardonnay.
This village Puligny-Montrachet is made from 100% Chardonnay. After pressing, the must settles for a few hours and goes straight into oak barrels, where both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place. The wine then ages on its lees in barrel for at least 12 months, followed by roughly six more months before bottling.
