Origin
“Charrières”: In Old French, this word derives from the word “char” and refers to a road that could be used by horses and their riders, carts or chariots. In Morey-St-Denis, this specific parcel of vines or “climat” is crossed by an important road climbing from the plain and joining up with the road that today is called the “Route des Grands Crus”.
Terroir
Vines are exposed East/South-East at an elevation of 260m. They lie on shallow soils of clay, silt and sand. Les Charrières are located on the north side of Morey, below the Clos de la Roche, between “Le Clos des Ormes” and “Les Faconnières”.
Growing, vinification, ageing
From vine growing through to vinification, each activity is balanced as a function of the specific vintage to create the finest wines and maintain the typicity of the terroir. Ageing is in oak barrels, with 30% new barrels.
Tasting
Good balance of suppleness, acidity and tannins. This is a wine of rare elegance and great richness, with fruit on the nose, a well-structured, full palate with supple tannins making this wine very pleasant. Gourmand, easy to drink…
It goes very well with red meats and cheeses. To be tasted between 14°C and 16°C. We recommend waiting 5 to 7 years to fully appreciate in its finest vintages.
