Domaine François Carillon
Bourgogne Chardonnay
Elegant and delightful regional Bourgogne Blanc with expressive white/yellow flower bouquet. Aromas of apricot, yellow peach and unripe pineapple with hint of honey, toasted nuts, and baking sweet spices rise from the glass. Bright acidity with white stone minerality. It’s a beautiful, well made Bourgogne Blanc!

Powerful fruit, great texture and enough acidity to let its generous fruit glide elegantly on the more-ish finish.

2 people found it helpfulJan 27th, 2015Honeysuckle/mild ripe white peaches/very slight hints of grass/overtones of lemon and dare i say nectarines on the long finish? Doesn't fall flat after 30 seconds on the finish. Some ripe red fruit as it opens-but subtle. Acidity opens up a bit as it goes. Solid representative Chardonnay that should be taken seriously. Definitely a solid purchase. Acidity mellows as it opens to coat the palate. Spring anyone?

2 people found it helpfulOct 7th, 2013A fav producer that I unfortunately don’t experience enough. Beautiful Bourgogne blanc, ample fruit and succulent, underpinnings of mineral and earth without being too contemplative. The class comes through on the clarity of the fruit and deft hand with cooperage. Ripe green apples, white peach, melon, meyer lemon peel, apple blossom, masa, nuts, kiss of honey and white rocks. Spot on!
