Description
François Carillon Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien comes from an exceptional parcel acquired by the domaine in 2013, located in Saint Aubin and adjoining the legendary Grands Crus of Puligny Montrachet. Its name alludes to the sharp limestone pebbles of the terroir - "dogtooth"- that define its mineral character. This 100% Chardonnay expression is a true reflection of François Carillon' s commitment to precision, energy and respect for the terroir. The cool climate and chalky soils, together with a privileged exposure, offer a deeper and riper profile than other 1er Cru from the area, but always under the seal of finesse.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand to ensure rigorous selection. After gentle pressing, the must of François Carillon Saint Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien is fermented in French oak barrels, where it also undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 12 months on the lees, with light bâtonnages that add texture without losing freshness. After a delicate racking, it rests for a few more months in tank to refine its structure before bottling. The use of wood is measured and elegant, accompanying without dominating.
Taste
On the nose, François Carillon Saint Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien displays aromas of lime, limestone, white pear and a light touch of toasted brioche. With air, notes of apricot, fresh butter and subtle smokiness emerge. The palate is sharp, vibrant and saline, with a tension marked by acidity and penetrating minerality. Ripe white fruit balances the whole, and the finish is long, precise and elegant, with echoes of candied lemon, dried fruits and mild spices. A Burgundian Chardonnay of great purity, ideal for pairing with white fish, poultry or simply to enjoy on its own, glass by glass.
