Year after year, this wine is at the top of the appellation, and it is easy to understand why: a great nose of almonds and ripe yellow fruit, with racy smoky nuances. The mouth, unctuous, is magnificent in its concentration and maturity for the year. The wine expresses itself both powerfully and nervously, relying on its terroir to keep it going. A Grand Cru, a real one!

Technique

Viticulture

The estate's Charlemagne is located mainly in the commune of Pernand, and comes from the climates "Le Charlemagne" and "En Charlemagne". The vines are 50, 20, 10 and 3 years old. This south-west facing grand cru is planted on silico-calcareous marl, with a fairly steep slope. The shallow soils, made up of friable rock, are fairly light, poor and very stony.

Oenology

Pressing is done with a pneumatic press and lasts two hours. After 24 hours of settling at low temperatures, the juice is placed in barrels for fermentation. The proportion of new wood is 30%. The wine is bottled after 12 months of ageing.
