Description
The Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Les Murgers des Dents de Chien” from Domaine François Carillon is a wine of remarkable precision and minerality, often compared to top Puligny-Montrachet wines due to its proximity and similar terroir. Situated at an ideal altitude with excellent exposure, this Premier Cru produces wines that are tense, elegant, and exceptionally pure.
Blend
Made exclusively from Chardonnay, this wine is vinified and aged meticulously in French oak barrels, with a restrained use of new oak to maintain the purity of the terroir and the vibrant minerality characteristic of this appellation.
Tasting Notes
• Appearance: Pale gold with silver reflections, bright and luminous.
• Nose: Expressive and refined, revealing notes of ripe lemon, green apple, and white flowers (hawthorn, acacia), along with a subtle saline touch and hints of fresh almond and hazelnut.
• Palate: Crisp and chiseled attack, marked by a vibrant mineral tension. The mid-palate unfolds with flavors of flint, citrus zest, and white-fleshed fruits, complemented by a silky texture from barrel aging. The long, saline, and energetic finish leaves an impression of purity and finesse.
Aging Potential
Enjoyable now for its brilliant freshness, but will reach its peak between 6 and 12 years, gaining more complexity and aromatic depth.
Food Pairings
Perfectly paired with elegant dishes that highlight its mineral tension:
• Scallop tartare with citrus
• Roasted cod with lemon butter
• Asparagus and parmesan risotto
• Aged goat cheeses (Crottin de Chavignol, Valençay)
