The 2020 Bourgogne Aligoté from François Carillon is a vibrant, chiselled, and beautifully expressive example of the variety, capturing both the freshness of Aligoté and the precision that defines the domaine’s style. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white flowers, and crushed stone rise with clarity, accented by hints of citrus blossom and a delicate saline edge. On the palate, the wine is brisk and finely textured, driven by lively acidity and a taut mineral core that keeps the expression energetic and refreshing. Flavors of citrus, pear skin, and subtle herbal notes unfold into a clean, persistent finish marked by purity and tension. The 2020 Aligoté offers exceptional finesse for its level—an elegant, polished wine that showcases Carillon’s ability to elevate even the simplest appellations into something truly refined.

Domaine François Carillon, based in Puligny-Montrachet, is one of the Côte de Beaune’s most respected addresses for precise, mineral-driven white Burgundy. Descended from a family with roots in the village dating back to the 16th century, François Carillon has established his own domaine focused on meticulous vineyard care, sustainable practices, and a restrained, terroir-transparent winemaking style. Even at the regional level, his wines reflect the hallmarks of Puligny: purity, tension, fine texture, and an unwavering commitment to elegance. Low yields, careful pressing, native-yeast fermentations, and thoughtful élevage—mostly in stainless steel or seasoned oak—ensure that each cuvée retains clarity and freshness. Carillon’s Bourgogne wines consistently punch above their weight, offering refinement and pedigree rare for their category.
