A single-varietal chardonnay that grows on a blend of clay and limestone soils and is vinified in the winery that Carillon operates in Puligny-Montrachet. After the harvest, Domaine François Carillon Cap au Sud Chardonnay is taken to the winery and pressed, allowing the must to settle for a time to ensure it reaches fermentation as clean as possible. This step is known as clarification and involves lowering the temperature of the liquid so that suspended substances settle at the bottom of the tank.
Once achieved, the liquid is transferred to French oak barrels where Domaine François Carillon Cap au Sud Chardonnay will ferment and rest for at least a year. After this period, Domaine François Carillon Cap au Sud Chardonnay is bottled according to lunar cycles as, at all times, the work rhythms are governed by biodynamic principles.
More than a wine, Domaine François Carillon Cap au Sud Chardonnay is pure passion, the relentless struggle of François Carillon and his ability to turn any adversity into a new beginning.
