Francois Carillon Bourgogne Chardonnay 2020 750ml

François Carillon Bourgogne Chardonnay 2020 is an elegant and expressive white Burgundy crafted from 100% Chardonnay by one of Puligny-Montrachet's respected producers.

Sourced from vineyards around the Côte de Beaune, including Chardonnay grown below Puligny-Montrachet, this wine offers impressive depth and refinement for its Bourgogne classification.

The 2020 vintage displays a luminous pale-gold colour and an inviting bouquet of yellow peach, white fruit and citrus, complemented by subtle saline and mineral notes.

On the palate, it is generous and beautifully balanced, showing ripe peach, pear and juicy white fruit supported by fresh acidity and a distinctive mineral backbone. There is excellent volume and texture through the mid-palate, while the freshness keeps the wine lively and precise.

The finish is clean and persistent, with lingering fruit and an attractive touch of salinity.

An excellent introduction to the style of François Carillon, offering genuine Puligny-influenced character at the Bourgogne level.
