Descrizione

The Chassagne Montrachet - François Carillon is an exceptional white wine produced in the famous Côte de Beaune appellation, Burgundy. Made from Chardonnay grapes grown on prestigious terroirs, this wine embodies the perfect harmony between minerality and aromatic complexity typical of the region. The vines, resting on limestone-clay soils, help impart elegance and structure to the glass, offering intense scents of white-fleshed fruit, white flowers, and hints of toasted hazelnut. The vinification is carried out with great care and the subsequent aging in oak barrels, some of which are new, adds delicate spicy notes and a velvety freshness.

The result is a white wine of great finesse, with a balanced body and a long, persistent finish, revealing golden reflections and a pleasant savory character. Perfect for accompanying dishes featuring fine fish, shellfish, or elaborated white meats, the Chassagne Montrachet - François Carillon expresses itself best served at a temperature of about 12°-14°C, recommending a brief decanting to enhance all its aromas. An emblematic example of Burgundy excellence, capable of thrilling lovers of fine drinking.
