FRANCOIS CARILLON PULIGNY MONTRACHET 2023 - white

Style : Rocks & Minerals As I observed earlier this year, Domaine François Carillon is only a new incarnation of a long-standing family tradition that stretches back many generations: François is named after his great-grandfather, François Virot, the pioneering regisseur of Domaine Leflaive who must rank among the 20th century's greatest white winemakers, and he began working with his father, Louis Carillon, with the 1988 vintage. François's style is richer and more gourmand than his brother Jacques's, these generous, gourmand wines will no doubt find an avid clientele the world over. WILLIAM KELLEY, Wine Advocate Usually coming from 8 plots, but as François has made more parcellaire bottlings in 2023 there are just 6 this year. Mid lemon yellow, slightly toasty. Clearly stricter after the Chassagnes. Nicely balanced, with medium generosity and length. The class shows at the finish, with precision. JASPER MORRIS MWA deft but not imperceptible application of wood surrounds the ripe and vaguely exotic aromas of white peach, poached pear and pretty acacia wisps. Here too the mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is plush, round and generous, indeed almost thick, while exhibiting solid length on the sappy finish BURGHOUNDRegion : Burgundy, FRANCEVariety : Chardonnay ABV: 12.5% Liquor Act 2007.
