DESCRIPTION

‘Les Charmes-Dessus’ is a Meursault, a prestigious appellation in Burgundy. It highlights the finesse and complexity of a wine aged on lees. For 18 months, this Chardonnay is aged on lees - those dead yeasts at the bottom of the barrel that enrich its bouquet and contribute to the fullness of its body. Before the wine is bottled, it is placed in stainless steel tanks for blending. The wine is then bottled following the rules of the lunar calendar. The bouquet skillfully assembles aromas of citrus, pear, vanilla bean, and fresh bread. On the palate, this wine cleverly strikes an opposition between tension and finesse and reveals a fresh and mineral finish. This Meursault is the perfect complement to fish, shellfish, or white meats in a cream-based sauce.

REGION

Burgundy

France

Burgundy, in eastern France, is one of the most iconic wine regions in the world, famous for its elegant, fine and complex wines. Its semi continental climate, with sharply contrasting seasons, and its clay and limestone soils rich in minerals, offer an exceptional terroir for its two leading grapes: Pinot Noir for reds and Chardonnay for whites. Alongside them, lesser known varieties such as Gamay and Aligoté add to the diversity of the vineyard.

The vineyard stretches from Chablis in the north, known for its taut, mineral whites, to the Mâconnais further south, which offers approachable, generous wines. In between, the Côte de Nuits is the kingdom of great reds, while the Côte de Beaune excels in both reds and whites. The Côte Chalonnaise completes the picture with wines that offer great value for pleasure.
