Description
What kind of wine is it
François Carillon's Puligny Montrachet is a still white wine from Burgundy, made from Chardonnay grapes. In the glass, it displays a sparkling pale gold colour, introducing an aromatic profile defined by notes of citrus, white flowers and a delicate hint of pastry. On the palate, it reveals a precise balance between volume and tension, outlining a creamy texture that finishes with a distinctly saline and mineral character. The style is harmonious and boasts remarkable ageing potential.
Where does it come from
This wine originates in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, within the renowned Puligny-Montrachet appellation, in a region situated between Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet. The vineyards stretch across brown, stony limestone soils, characterised by excellent natural drainage and an eastern exposure. These ideal pedoclimatic conditions allow the Chardonnay to fully express its characteristics, including a pronounced gustatory tension and marked savouriness. The estate's plots are located very close to the prestigious Grand Cru sites of the area.
How is it produced
The vinification aims to preserve the expressive purity of the grapes, followed by a careful period of maturation in barrels overseen by François Carillon. This maturation phase is essential for defining the wine's creamy texture, while maintaining the lively acidity typical of the region. The process concludes with bottling at the estate, ensuring rigorous control at every stage. The final result is a concentrated and structured sip, distinguished by a long persistence that enhances Burgundy's identity.
History and Curiosities
The Puligny-Montrachet from Domaine François Carillon embodies an ancient family tradition from Burgundy dating back to the 16th century, proudly mentioned on the label. The masterful 2021 vintage of pure Chardonnay honours the limestone terroir of the Côte de Beaune. Refined and bottled entirely by the estate, this captivating white reflects the expertise of a world-renowned appellation, whose rare and precious vineyards are located just a few metres from the legendary Grand Cru.
