Saint-Aubin Blanc 1. Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien Domaine Francois Carillon 2020

Saint-Aubin Blanc 1st Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien 2020 – Domaine François Carillon

Discover this refined white Burgundy that reflects the unique terroir of Saint-Aubin, created by the famous winemaker François Carillon. The winery "Les Murgers des Dents de Chien" is located high in the area, near Puligny-Montrachet, and is known for its chalky soil and cool microclimate, ideal for the Chardonnay grape.

Grapes and vinification

The wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay and follows a traditional vinification process. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, some of which are new, and the wine is aged for around 12 months. This gives the wine both structure and depth, while preserving the grape's natural freshness.

Flavor profile

The wine presents itself with a straw yellow hue in the glass. The aroma offers notes of citrus, white peach, green apples and a pronounced lime minerality. The taste is fresh and elegant with a nice acidity, notes of lemon, lightly toasted nuts and a discreet buttery character from the barrel aging. The finish is long and elegant.

Food pairing

Ideal with seafood, poultry with creamy sauce, fried fish or a ripe comté. Its mineral freshness also makes it suitable for lighter vegetarian dishes.

Storage

Although the wine is already a pleasure to drink, it can be stored for 5–10 years, where it will develop further complexity and tertiary aromas.

A wine for those who appreciate finesse, terroir and classic white Burgundy in its best form.
