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

 

The Apex of Saint-Aubin Premier Cru

The CARILLON FRANCOIS SAINT AUBIN LES MURGERS DES DENTS DE CHIEN BLANC represents a masterclass in white Burgundy. Sourced from a premier *climat* whose name refers to the sharp, dog’s teeth-like stones in the chalky-clay soil, this vineyard borders the Grand Crus of Puligny-Montrachet, lending the wine a rare depth and sophistication.

Tasting Profile: A Siren’s Call

This luxury Chardonnay displays a bright, pale gold color. The nose is immediately captivating, a ‘siren’s call’ of intense Syracuse lemon zest and chalk dust minerality, layered with notes of ripe yellow fruit (apricot, pear) and a hint of baking spice and vanilla from subtle oak. The palate is both creamy and energetic. A vibrant acidity and a chiseled freshness drive the experience, balancing the wine’s inherent richness. The finish is long, complex, and intensely mineral-driven.

Pairing & Enjoyment

• Serving Temperature: 54-57°F (12-14°C)
