Description

François Carillon Cap au Sud Chardonnay is an exquisite white wine crafted by the esteemed François Carillon winery, located in the heart of Burgundy, France. This wine represents a departure from their traditional Burgundian terroir, as "Cap au Sud" translates to "Head South," indicating the grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. The Carillon family has been producing high-quality wines for generations, and this Chardonnay is a testament to their expertise and dedication to excellence. It combines the vibrant character of southern French terroir with the refined winemaking techniques of Burgundy.
