- This wine exhibits abundant aromas of ripe cherries and juicy raspberries, complemented by delicate hints of violets. On the palate, it is notably smooth and displays complexity, with well-integrated round tannins that contribute to a satisfying, lingering finish.
Traditional Burgundian vinification took place with minimal intervention. The grapes were vinified as whole clusters. Fermentation occurred with natural yeasts and without any ‘pigeage’ or punching down of the cap. The wine was 100% barrel-aged for 12 months in a combination of oak barrels. One-third was aged in new oak, one-third in second-passage oak, and one-third in third-passage oak. The wine rested for six months in a tank before being bottled without fining or filtration.
Les Charmes is a smooth and complex wine with generous aromas of cherries and strawberries, with hints of violets. It is classic, silky, and elegant, with fine integrated tannins and a long finish.

Winery | Santenay is a village located at the southern end of the Cote de Beaune, south of Chassagne-Montrachet. The vineyard of Les Charmes is situated at the foothill of Santenay, with a clayey limestone soil rich in iron on a limestone base. The 0.3 hectares of vineyard are planted with very fine clones of Pinot Noir vines, which produce rich and powerful wines. The vineyard is managed with respect for the unique attributes of each site's terroir and is farmed sustainably and organically, although it is not certified. Some biodynamic philosophies are also followed, such as biodynamic sprays. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully sorted. |
