Carillon's wines may cruise somewhat under-the-radar, but there's no doubt that they are some of the most impeccably crafted white Burgundies.

2020 Huët Vouvray Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec

This is a wine that drives Bourg's chalky minerality home. The wine is electric, penetrating, and multifaceted. The ultra-fine presentation is infused with bright citrus and round stone fruits.

"Very focused and elegant"
2018 Bachelet Côte de Nuits - Villages

Typically, Côte de Nuits can be characterful, but also rugged and rustic. Bachelet takes the appellation to a nearly unimaginable level of textural elegance and ageability. The 2018 Côte de Nuits - Villages boldly flaunts these characteristics.

When you catch Métras Beaujolais in the right vintage, watch out.
