Tasting Notes:The white wine here is toasty, smoky, with a complex, mineral and long lemony finish……4-6 year aging wine. Ladoix blanc is somewhat rare, and we are only importing 25 cases …

Review:

"Fresh notes of chalk and lemon beckon from the glass, clothed in subtle smoke. The gentleness continues on the palate where Mirabelle fruit has an inviting streak of lemon. The ripeness of 2018 is expressed in the warm finish, but overall this is a very balanced, fresh wine. - Anne KREBIEHL MW"

A nose of citrus and candied lemon characterizes the Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "embazees". These flavors appear again on the palate with notes of almond paste, honey and vanilla. An ample and generous wine with a nice mineral finish.

Average age of the vines: 50 years old.

Traditional vinification in French oak barrels with complete malolactic fermentation.

Blends elegantly with meat and fish with a noble and beautiful texture (veal or chicken in white creamy sauce, roasted sea bass) or grilled seafood and sauce (shrimp, lobster ...). Delicious as an aperitif and with hard cheeses (Comte, cheddar).

Chartron et Trebuchet Pommard is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir. 

Pommard AOC: AOC since 1937, 800 acres, and 27 Premier Crus. 99% red wines.
At the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the village of Pommard is located on a slope in the middle of the vineyards.

Tasting Notes:

Bright ruby red color. Aromas of black cherries and spices going towards new leather notes. The palate is fresh, sustained by round and supple tannins.
This is a classic four squared Pinot Noir, exhibiting the depth and density of the Pommard clone of Pinot Noir. Built to last in the cellar.

Soil: Clay and limestone soils which drain well thanks to a gravel rock debris.

HARVEST: Harvest by hand.

VINIFICATION: Traditional vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel. Pre-fermentation - cold maceration. Long fermentation during which pigeages and pumping over are performed. Post-fermentation - maceration at 30°C.

AGEING: Aged in oak barrels for 12 months.

Excellent with grilled red meat with sauce.

Chartrons et Trebuchet Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy is a crisp and clean Chardonnay that offers a rich and intense bouquet of fresh citrus fruits and white flowers. The mouth is round, ample and powerful. The rich and rounded palate is expressive and voluptuous with a mineral character and good acidity. A long finish. Delicious.

Chartrons et Trebuchet Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy is a perfect match with cooked oysters or fish in sauce, white meats (veal, poultry), sushi, goat cheese, blue cheese and Comté.

Chartron & Trebuchet Montagny Les Bouchots is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.

Saint-Romain AOC: AOC since 1947, made up of 240 acres, more white then red (60/40)
