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 is one of the largest wine-producing regions in Eastern France and produces some of the most exclusive wines in the world. Burgundy's semi-continental climate and limestone soils give the wines exceptional minerality and complexity. The region has two main grape varieties: Pinot Noir for red wines and Chardonnay for white wines. If you prefer something more rustic, you can opt for Gamay or Aligoté which are less common grape varieties in the region.
