- Aging
- The proportion of de-stemmed grapes and whole clusters varies depending on the vintage. The wines are punched down daily in order to extract color, tannins and aromas from the skin of the grapes. After a 19 day vatting period, the alcoholic fermentation is complete. The free-run wine is run off using a gravity system whilst the marc is pressed slowly and gently in order to extract an exceptionally pure press wine. Aged for 16-18 months in French oak barrels- 60% new oak, 40% once used barrels.

Charmes-Chambertin reveals an attractive deep ruby red hue and rich nose disclosing a variety of small red fruits, spices, and flowers. This indulgent yet very elegant wine offers silky smooth tannins although it requires a few years in the bottle before it reaches its full potential.

“Cask sample. Savoury nose with a suggestion of lacy texture. Quite delicate and seductive, not quite frivolous but not as intense as some Faiveley grands crus”
