Since a numerous generations, the Charmensat family exploits
the vine on the beautiful Boudes' hill. In 1977, the year of
the obtaining the V.D.Q.S. vintage, Albert the grandfather had,
among the first, the idea to put the wine in bottle in order
to promote it. On November 16th, 2010, we acquire the Appellation
d'Origine Controllée (AOC). |
|
|
Since, his son André has taken the relay with his wife
Marie-Claude. Today, their girl Annie is associated with the
exploitation. |
|
|
Currently, the vineyard extends on 9 hectares mainly situated
on the Boudes' hill oriented full south : 7 hectares transplanted
from 1987 completed the 2 hectares of centenarian vines cultivated
in teraces. |
|
|
The new plantations are faded with a density of 4000 stocks/ha.
For the old vines, which are on stakes, the density is about
10000 stocks/ha. |
|
Ideally located and carefully maintened in the biggest respect
of traditions and environment, stocks draw in clayed and limestone
grounds all the necessary elements to a harmonious vegetation.
The flavoring and the tipicity of the wines come from a slow
and complete maturation of the grapes. |
|
To the traditionnal Gamay
grape, two famous Burgundian grapes are now added : the Pinot noir for the red wine and the Chardonnay for the white wine. |
|
Since 1992, many investments have been realized.
A new vinification chai is born, completed by a bottling up
room with high performance material and by a dedicated storage
room. |
|
|
Each place is equiped with an independant air-conditionning allowing
a temperature control to within one degree. |
|
 |
Since July 2006, a truncated cistern in oak of the forest of
Tronçais makes possible to a part of the production to
stay about 6 months in the wood to give it some wine savours
of formerly. |
|
A tasting vault intended for the public welcome completes this
modern and functional body. |
