2023 Francois Carillon Bourgogne Chardonnay

(87-90) "Within Femelottes, old vines on riparia. Early and aromatic. A fullish yellow, with a more immediate ripe grape bouquet than the regular. Opulent for a generic Bourgogne yet with class. The power on the palate is impressive, with a huge weight in the middle and at the back. At least the intensity of a village wine. Not for those looking for elegance, but superb in its own style. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted: October 2023."  Jasper Morris
