Domaine François Carillon – Saint-Aubin 1er Cru – Les Murgers des Dents de Chien – White – 2020:

 

Domaine François Carillon: Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Excellence

Hailing from the esteemed Côte de Beaune, the CARILLON FRANCOIS SAINT AUBIN LES MURGERS DES DENTS DE CHIEN BLANC is a profound expression of Premier Cru Chardonnay. This specific *climat*, known for its sharp, ‘dog’s teeth’ limestone, sits adjacent to the legendary Grand Crus of Puligny-Montrachet, resulting in a wine of exceptional structure and age-worthiness.

Sommelier’s Notes

A bright, pale gold in the glass. The bouquet is complex and inviting, marrying concentrated aromas of citrus zest and crystalline minerality with richer undertones of ripe orchard fruit and toasted brioche. On the palate, it delivers a masterful balance: a creamy texture is immediately met with a powerful, taut acidity. This chiseled freshness and immense tension make it a wine that will age gracefully, developing further notes of honey and roasted nuts over the next decade.

The Perfect Serve

• Decanting: Not strictly necessary, but 30 minutes can open up a younger vintage.
• Best Paired With: A traditional Sunday Roast Chicken (with all the trimmings), a luxurious Rich Fish Pie, or perfectly Pan-Fried Sea Bass.

A benchmark white Burgundy that offers superb value and profound elegance for the discerning cellar.
