Intense wine. Elegant tannins, floral notes (peonies and violets).

Specifications

Vinification	After a few days of pre-fermentation maceration (5–6 days), fermentation takes place over about 15 days, without adding yeast. The cap-punching and pumping over operations are carried out as necessary to preserve all of the wine's elegance without excessive extraction. After pneumatic pressing and several days in vats, the wines are racked off by gravity, with the proportion of new barrels no greater than 25%.
Vineyard Soil	Deep, chalky soils. In the Burgundian dialect, "Charmottes" (or "charmes") refers to fallow land.
Tasting Notes	An intense wine with elegant tannins, floral notes (peonies and violets), and luscious accents of red berries. This is a wine for sharing with friends – it is frank, pleasant, and perfect for every occasion. It is perfect with roast meats such as lamb or pork, with game bird, or with a selection of soft cheeses.
