“The Les Charmes vineyard shares with Meursault the distinction of being divided into Charmes du Dessous and Charmes du Dessus. Here, a Charmes ‘plain and simple’ hails from a beautiful 1.15-hectare plot that offers a bouquet of ripe black fruits accented by a hint of pepper. The fruit is accompanied by subtle oak on the palate, which is full-bodied and well-structured. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021) Made from old vines planted in 1971, the Santenay Charmes features lovely, concentrated fruit with notes of morello cherry and blackcurrant, complemented by a hint of licorice. The wine is round and generous— an immediate delight!

About the wine:

Like Meursault, the Charmes vineyard is unique in that it is divided into Charmes du Dessous and Charmes du Dessus. Here, a Charmes “plain and simple” hails from a beautiful 1.15-hectare plot, offering a bouquet of ripe black fruits accented by a hint of pepper. The fruit is complemented by subtle oak on the palate, which is full-bodied and well-structured.

About the estate:

A historic estate, first documented in the 18th century, now covering 24 hectares. At the helm are Roger Belland, who took over in 1981; his daughter Julie, who joined in 2003 and oversees winemaking; and their new colleague, Martin Boyer. While not certified organic, the estate practices sustainable and carefully managed viticulture (full grass cover in the vineyard, no herbicides) and produces wines of great consistency.

About the wine:

A subtle hint of morello cherry promises freshness on the nose of this wine. On the palate, this tart and vibrant fruit also comes through, supported by a slender, slightly crisp body, with a refreshing honesty and verve.
