Description

Bachelet-Monnot Santenay "Les Charmes Dessus" Rouge 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir from Santenay in Burgundy, France. The lieu-dit "Les Charmes Dessus" lies just beneath 1er Cru Clos Rousseau on the Maranges side of Santenay. The fruit is from 60+ year old vines.

Taste Profile: Nose is a mixture of fresh but ripe red and dark berried fruit, some plum. Palate is concentrated but the fruit is fresh and stylish a little lift from the stem and a peppery finish

Winemaking Process: The fruit is fermented with roughly 25% whole bunches through indigenous yeast fermentation, and is matured in French oak barrels, of which 15% is new.

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
