2023DomaineRougeotLesCharmes,MeursaultPremierCru,France

<p>Biodynamic. 100% Chardonnay. Sourced from one of the emblematic vineyards of Meursault “Les Charmes,” this is a rich, powerful, aromatic wine. Rougeot says “the higher the appellations rank, the less work you have to do at the winery”. He is right. “Les Charmes” climat grows on limestone and marl soil with ideal exposure to the morning sun (south, South-East). The vineyard is very well tended and delivers beautiful grapes, caviar like in size, even in challenging weather conditions. “Les Charmes” is harvested by hand. The grapes are collected in small boxes for minimum handling and to avoid leaking juice that could oxidize and spoil the wine. The wine must undergoes alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, 20% of which are new. Elevage of eighteen months of maturation without battonage, unfined and unfiltered with 25ppm SO2 at bottling.</p>
