Francois Carillon Bourgogne-Aligoté

Lovely wine - great bang for the buck

Lovely

Colore giallo paglierino con lievi riflessi dorati. Al naso note fruttate di agrumi e pera, legno - presente ma sottile e ben integrato -, che si percepisce perlopiù sotto forma di leggere note di vaniglia. In bocca emergono una buona struttura, una discreta spina acida in mezzo al palato e una intensa e persistente componente minerale sul finale.

Buena mineralidad, toques de heno algo excesivos. Quizá le falta algo de fruta, pero buena relación calidad- precio. A ver Como evoluciona

Nice citrus acidity and unripe pear with crushed limestone leading on the nose and palate, but it finishes with a weird discordant cheesy leesy note on the finish. 88 points day 1. On day two, the acids and cheesy notes seemed to have merged together into something much more pleasant and cohesive. 91 points day 2.

Old vines in Petit Poirier and Riaux below Puligny. One year in 500 litre barrels, 12.5% ABV. A very fine Aligoté, precise and fresh, ripe fruit, firm acidity and palpable limestone minerality, everything in the right place - except for the oak, which seems quite marked and a bit resinous at the moment. Not sure what to do. I should probably wait 12 months.

(100% Aligoté, 12.5% Alkohol) Rauchige Nase, anfangs eher zurückhaltend in der Frucht, zeigt dann mehr und mehr reife Zitrusfrüchte und Kräuter. Im Gaumen zugänglich, frisch, der Wein hat Zug und eine knackige Frucht und viel Harmonie. Ein ausgezeichneter Aligoté. www.vvwine.ch
