About

Rating:

89-92

Subtle but not invisible wood influence can be found on the ripe aromas of pear, apple and various citrus nuances. The dense and relatively powerful medium-bodied flavors possess a beguiling texture before ending in a moderately dry and lemony finish. This isn't an elegant wine, indeed Macherelles rarely is, but I like the frank character.

Product Description:

Located in the heart of the village, the estate owns and manages today a sixteen-hectare-vineyard located in Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin. The estate produces about seventeen (depending on the harvests) different appellations, mainly in Chardonnay. Between passion and precision, the ambition of the François Carillon Domaine is to produce fine, elegant and gourmet wines, representative of the exceptional terroirs from which they come. Referenced in best restaurants of the world, François Carillon's white wines are also praised by wine experts and wine lovers, who recognize their exactitude and balance.
