Charlouise
A great Pinot Noir, full and voluptuous, benefiting from an ambitious ageing process.One of the two greatest red wines of the entire appellation, the second being Vendanges Entières from the same estate...
Tasting notes
Vibrant and fleshy fruit, confoundingly smooth tannins with delicious cherry aromas. A great Pinot Noir that will age gracefully. Exceptional richness of constitution, fruit of exemplary beauty on raspberry and spices, velvet tannins.
