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:

Super-fresh aromas include those of green apple, just sliced citrus, and a hint of anise. There is an excellent vibrancy to the more mineral-driven, if less concentrated, flavors that also deliver solid length if only average depth.
