Tasting Notes for 2024 François Carillon Champs Gains

The wine opens with refined aromas of white peach, crisp orchard pear, lemon curd, and white blossom. Furthermore, subtle accents of crushed chalk, raw almond, and sea spray reveal themselves with aeration. On the palate, vibrant citrus acidity cuts cleanly through a silky and concentrated mid-palate. Consequently, the finish lingers with remarkable saline persistence, stony grip, and profound Puligny poise.
