Domaine François Carillon
Bourgogne Chardonnay
Truly serious juice, with sweet buttery crackers, ripe stone fruits, grilled lemons and elegant oaky addition dominate the youthful and promising nose, which flows into BOOM!!! Powerful fruit, great texture and enough acidity to let its generous fruit glide elegantly on the more-ish finish.

2 people found it helpfulJan 27th, 2015Honeysuckle/mild ripe white peaches/very slight hints of grass/overtones of lemon and dare i say nectarines on the long finish? Doesn't fall flat after 30 seconds on the finish. Some ripe red fruit as it opens-but subtle. Acidity opens up a bit as it goes. Solid representative Chardonnay that should be taken seriously. Definitely a solid purchase. Acidity mellows as it opens to coat the palate. Spring anyone?

A very nice Chardonnay. Classic French style.
Nov 2nd, 2014Has the grip, the poise and the control...,but where's that bitter finish coming from? Juicer than expected, but nicely framed by the Beaune structure.

Dec 3rd, 2015Nutty, buttery, tender but very harmless as it lacks some acidic punch I was expecting. Generic, but still pretty good.
