2022 François Carillon Bourgogne Aligoté
The Carillon Domaine treats their Aligoté like their premier crus. This wine has deep golden yellow, intense color with a nose that shows off the wine’s subtle and masterful aging regimen. Grapefruit and light tropical notes lead to a palate that immediately offers a pleasant tension and nice freshness with a beautifully structured mid-palate and a savory finish. This wine elevates Aligoté to a class higher than its reputation.

The François Carillon Domaine, created in 2010, is the long-lasting legacy of a wine family business that dates back to the 16th century in Puligny-Montrachet, a very typical wine village in south of Côte de Beaune – Burgundy’s most renown terroir for white wines.
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.
