Carillon’s 2010 Bourgogne (domaine) is a gorgeous wine within its peer group. It shows lovely energy and vibrancy in its expressive fruit, not to mention terrific overall balance. Floral notes linger on the finish. This is a great introduction to Francois Carillon’s wines. I tasted the domaine Bourgogne, but readers should be aware there is also a negociant bottling in the market that I did not taste. Anticipated maturity: 2012+.
These 2010s are the first wines Francois Carillon has made from start to finish on his own. Based on the wines I tasted, it looks like Francois’s wines are a little silkier than his brother Jacques’s wines. I also tasted the 2011s, which are shaping up beautifully. As of 2011, the range will include two new premier crus from Chassagne-Montrachet: Clos St. Jean and Chenevottes, great news for fans of this ‘new’ domaine.
