Stonefruits, sweet citrus, chalky and a tad too oaky . Decant this for an hour plus and it was much bettter. 2017 is rather lackluster compared to 2018, aromatic nose, but the palate does not pull off well.

Nose is inexpressive. More about the texture, herbs and minerals than any obvious fruitiness. Retronasal finish is longer than initial aroma suggests. To drink soon.

Kleur: Medium strogeel Aroma / bouquet: Aangenaam bouquet met een beperkte complexiteit. Vooral frisse tonen varierend van limoen tot verse ananas. Smaak / Afdronk: Fijne zuurgraad, gemiddelde vulling, filmend mondgevoel. Loepzuiver maar met een beperkte expressiviteit en complexiteit. Algemeen / potentieel: Voor een 'verwende wijnliefhebber' is dit het niveau 'instapwijn'. Maar als dit je dagelijkse Chardonnay is, dan heb je nog steeds weinig te klagen ;-). 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 10 + Smaak / Afdronk: 15 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 88/100
Colour: Medium straw yellow Aroma / bouquet: Pleasant bouquet with limited complexity. Especially fresh notes ranging from lime to fresh pineapple. Taste / Aftertaste: Fine acidity, medium filling, filmy mouthfeel. Immaculately clean, but with limited expressiveness and complexity. General / potential: For a 'spoiled wine lover' this is the 'entry level' level. But if this is your daily Chardonnay, then you still have little to complain about ;-). 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / Bouquet: 10 + Taste / Aftertaste: 15 + General / Potential: 8 = 88/100

I really like this wine. This is an incredible value. Glad I have more. Almost as good as the '17 Francois Carillon St. Aubin 1er Murgers de Dents de Chien at about 1/3 the price.

Un blanc de chardonnay très bien fait, délicat, de classe, avec un bel équilibre, distingué et suave. On n'en attendait pas moins pour ce terroir de Puligny ! Très grande qualité, il était à point. Il peut probablement s'améliorer encore et j'ouvrirai l'autre bouteille dans quelques années.

Really pleased with this fine entry level white burg. The nose was white flowers and just a wisp of jet fuel. Mouth feel was fresh, taste was balanced apple and a wisp of pear with good stone and the right touch of acidity (definitely ready). Can’t wait to drink another one.

A great weeknight Bourgogne blanc. It’s well balanced, rather light in body, with enough cut to be food friendly but not enough to demand more bottle age. I would say a good buy under $25. My only concern is a very lean mid-palate

Smaknotering Vi är mycket förtjusta i Carillons hantering av Chardonnay. Doften är rik och komplex med solmogen, fet frukt, gåslever och mineral. Smaken är djup, rik och fet med oljig, komplex frukt, härlig balans och inslag av gråpäron, paranötsolja, grapefrukt, kalk, gröna äpplen, lime och mineral. Ett ungt, lite knutet vin med oljig, fet frukt och mineral. Drickes 2019-2029

Robe jaune bouton d'or, densité moyenne.
Nez expressif, citron confit, fleurs sauvages, légèrement vanillé.
En bouche, citron confit, carambole, acidité franche sans excès. Une agréable impression d'équilibre sucre-acidité-alcool. Bonne persistance. Grande buvabilité frais et digeste.

Orange cream, slightly herbaceous, and fairly full mouthfeel. Straightforward. Solid, slightly upscale from daily drinker.

Easy to like. Lemon, touch of fizz, on the rich side. Soft, with no edges and low acid.

Frisk og fin frukt, stjernefrukt, litt eik. Sitron. God litt aggressiv syre. Lett parfymert. Litt faste elementer i avslutningen. Litt ubalansert.

God, frisk og ren bourgogne blanc. Kanskje litt endimensjonal. God syre og korrekte aromaer, men gir ikke mye. Veldig diskret eikebruk.
