WINE DESCRIPTION
Francois Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Champ Gain' is an esteemed wine hailing from the Burgundy region of France, known for its finesse and complexity. Produced by Francois Carillon, a vintner with a storied family history in the region, the wine is crafted from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the 'Les Champ Gain' vineyard. This Premier Cru vineyard is acclaimed for its limestone-rich soils that impart minerality and depth to the wine. The winemaking process includes meticulous hand-harvesting and fermentation in oak barrels, resulting in a white wine that elegantly marries fruit intensity with mineral undertones.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The first impression on the nose is a delightful bouquet of green apple, pear, and lemon zest mingling with nuanced floral aromas and a touch of vanilla.As you take a sip, the palate is greeted by a harmonious blend of crisp acidity and rich fruit flavors, complemented by a minerally undertone. Notes of ripe peach, honeydew, and a wisp of smoke unfold elegantly, leading to a persistent, well-balanced finish. The wine's complexity and structure make it a perfect partner for a range of seafood dishes, creamy sauces, or even on its own for a special occasion.
