Santenay « Les Charmes » Vielles Vignes (Red)

Origine

The “Les Charmes” name says it all: this wine has everything you would want from a fine wine! Les Charmes is located just below the premier cru "Clos Rousseau" in Santenay. Planted in 1950, the old vines growing here draw their rich, soft and silky tannins from deep within the limestone.

Vinification

Cold pre-fermentation maceration (5 days), alcoholic fermentation (13 days) post fermentation maceration (10 days).

Ageing: the wine is transferred into barrels while warm and is aged for 14 months: 12 months in barrel on the lees without racking, followed by 2 months in vat. 100% in oak barrels, of which 25% are new.  

Notes de dégustation

A wine full of charm and a lovely smooth character with aromas of fresh cherries and a touch of spice. The elegance and finesse of the exquisite fruit, with good length on the palate, instantly work their magic.

Mets d'accompagnements

White and red meats (grilled or in a sauce) or mature cheeses.
