Origins
The climat “Les Charmots” is located mid-slope just north of the village with an heavenly south-east exposure. Here the soil is rich in clay which gives their strength to the wines, and tinted with red for its richness in iron.
The name "Les Charmots" can come from hornbeams that might have grown there once or from the fact that it was an uncultivated land before people started growing vines (from tje latin word CALMIS/CALMA which means stony land).
Vinification and maturing
Date of harvest : 04th September 2012
Vinified in wooden vats and matured in oak barrels for 12 months (40% new oak).
Vintage : 2011
The year experienced unusual weather patterns which led to a very early harvest. In fact, the unpredictable conditions were sometimes quite extreme : a superb dry Springtime, a rainy Summer followed by a beautiful Autumn - which led to this crucial early harvest.
Red 2011 Burgundies are generally very elegant wines, quite silky with great finesse with aroma and taste.
