History: Domaine François Carillon is a Burgundy wine estate based in Puligny-Montrachet, focusing on wines made from Chardonnay. It was formed in 2010 when François and his brother Jacques decided to divide their father’s estate, Domaine Louis Carillon, which had been regarded as one of the very finest in the village. The Carillon family’s history in winegrowing in the area can be traced back to at least 1700.

Tasting Notes:

Strong scents of mandarin and apples jumped out of the glass. Hints of oak are present. On the palate, there is a sweetness of ripe apple together with the creamy oak flavors. Almond and butter accompany the fruity flavors. Good length and finish.
