Tasting Notes

Aroma

Very fresh aromas.

Maturation

Aged for 6 months in French oak barrels.

Palate

Les Charmes offers a straight, crisp and generous fruit wine, assertive in character with elegant tannins.

Vinification

Cold skin maceration for 5 days. Vatting lasts more than 15 days at temperatures of 24 to 26C. Free run wines are blended with press wines if they are of good quality, as soon as the alcoholic fermentation is over. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels of 3-4 wines. Once this is finished, the wine continues its ageing in truncated wooden vats for 6 to 8 months, to reveal the subtle red fruit aromas of this vintage for good ageing.

Cellaring Potential

Semi-keeping wine.

Region Notes

Les Charmes is a selection of parcels from vines located on the Left Bank of the Vienne, on the heights of Anch, a neighbouring commune of Sazilly. The Cabernet Franc vines are 35 years old and the terroir is clay-limestone, facing north.

    Heady scents of ripe, red plum, currants, fig and salami with dried herbs and white pepper. Sloshes into the palate nicely, liquorice, some dried herb and sweet berry fruits with a bit of dark chocolate, ferrous character and a clean, bright finish with ultra fine, succulent tannin in tow. Feels well balanced, elegant, in a groove. Very nicely done, a bit fuller figured in personality. Points: 93/100
