Descrizione

Puligny Montrachet Les combettes - François Carillon represents the elegance and refinement of the Côte de Beaune, in the heart of Burgundy. This wine, produced from Chardonnay grapes grown in one of the most renowned crus of Puligny-Montrachet, best expresses the unique terroir of this area, characterized by limestone and clay soils that confer extraordinary minerality and finesse.

The aging, carried out in new wooden barrels for part of the process, allows the wine to acquire complexity and aromatic tension without losing freshness and liveliness. On the nose, it unfolds a bouquet rich in notes of ripe yellow fruit, such as peach and apricot, accompanied by hints of almond, light butter, and delicate floral touches. On the palate, it is harmonious, structured yet at the same time slender, with a long mineral persistence that invites the next sip.

Puligny Montrachet Les combettes - François Carillon pairs well with noble fish dishes, shellfish, or white meats, enhancing their delicacy with its vibrant elegance. An unmissable choice for those who wish to immerse themselves in the authenticity of the most classic Burgundy.
