Vineyards & Viticulture:
Henry decided to replant these exceptional ancient Romorantin ungrafted vines on an untouched parcel in 2007, next to the old-vine plot planted in 1850, with the first harvest in September 2010.

Harvest & Vinification:
The grapes are manually harvested and 100% destemmed. After pellicular maceration, the juice ferments in tanks with native yeast. No malolactic fermentation is used in order to preserve freshness. The wine then ages in stainless steel tanks until bottling in the spring following harvest.

About the producer

The vineyard was completely replanted and enlarged between 1967 and 1978. The total surface is today 60 hectares for a production of 400,000 bottles. The cellar is fully equipped in stainless steel tanks. The vinifications made at the Domaine de la Charmoise are all "special" and different from traditional methods; which gives the wines that come from it qualities and properties quite original.
