Description
What kind of wine it is
The Bourgogne Côte d’Or Chardonnay by François Carillon is a still white wine with a bright and exuberant profile, capable of delivering a full and linear sip. On the palate, the Chardonnay reveals itself as crisp and driven by lively acidity, offering a fresh and measured taste. Clear notes of green citrus emerge, accompanied by juicy hints of pear and yellow peach. The enveloping sip finishes with a clean ending, enriched by a mineral undertone. Thanks to its tension, this wine enhances elegant seafood dishes, shellfish, and soft cheeses.
Where it comes from
This Bourgogne Côte d’Or originates in Burgundy from plots covering five hectares, spread between the communes of Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. The grapes come from old vines aged between thirty-three and fifty-nine years, whose roots delve into rich clay-limestone soils. This precious interaction between soil and vine maturity gives the wine a marked definition. The territorial imprint ensures the white wine expresses itself with a focus on acidic tension, precisely reflecting the region’s identity.
How it is produced
Production begins with a careful manual harvest, followed by vinification in oak barrels, where both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place. Maturation continues for about a year in the barrels, accompanied by gentle stirring of the lees to encourage structural integration without clouding the fruit’s purity. Afterwards, the wine rests for two months in tank to complete the harmonisation phase. These steps result in a glass with defined balance, maintaining its aromatic vibrancy intact.
History and Curiosities
