| Description: |
Hautes Côtes de Beaune Chardonnay
Domaine Charles François et Fils, situated in Nantoux at the heart of Hautes-Côtes de Beaune is comprised of 14 hectares of vines, 10 of which being Hautes-Côtes de Beaune and 4 hectares of Volnay, Pommard, Mersault, and Beaune. The estate has been passed down to Pascal and Pauline - Francois' son and granddaughter - giving rise to the house of Charles Père et Fille. As a result, new wines such as Chablis, Mâcon, Gevrey Chambertin, and Nuits-Saint-Georges are on offer.
Grapes are harvested manually from vines with an average age of 30 years. The grapes go through a long and gentle pressing process to preserve the purity of the fruit. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months before its release. Approximately 4000 bottles are produced annually.
