Description
In the heart of Puligny Montrachet, François Carillon - heir to one of Burgundy's most respected sagas -decided to create a white that would sum up the essence of his land, without resorting to excess or artifice. Thus was born François Carillon Bourgogne Chardonnay Le Vieux Clos, made from old vines over 50 years old, planted in clay and limestone soils: a classic Burgundian combination that gives the wine its structure and mineral character. The continental climate, with its marked thermal amplitude, allows a slow and precise maturation, giving the Chardonnay a refined expression. Carillon, true to its philosophy of minimal intervention and respect for the vineyard, opts for a restrained use of new oak (only 10%), in favour of the purity and transparency of the terroir. Its decision: to let the terroir speak for itself.
Winemaking
The production of François Carillon Bourgogne Chardonnay Le Vieux Clos begins with a manual and selective harvest. The grapes are gently pressed to preserve all the freshness and aromatic precision of the old vines. The must ferments in French oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation also takes place, adding roundness to the wine's profile. Ageing lasts 12 months on fine lees, with a light bâtonnage to add volume, followed by a final phase in tank to refine its tension and maintain its purity before bottling.
Taste
On the nose, François Carillon Bourgogne Chardonnay Le Vieux Clos unfolds elegantly: notes of white pear, baked apple, lemon zest and a delicate echo of fresh butter. As it opens up, a subtle chalky minerality appears, accompanied by white flowers and a light toastiness. The palate is enveloping but vibrant, with precise acidity balancing its creamy texture. Long, saline finish, with hints of raw almond and wet stone. A Burgundian Chardonnay of great purity, ideal for those seeking finesse, balance and the honesty of an old vineyard.
