Jean-Claude Boisset Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes from France, Burgundy, Charmes-Chambertin by Jean Claude Boisset Nuits St Georges (6 x 75 cl)

Appellation: This appellation comprises 130ha of Premier Cru vineyards, which occupy two almost facing slopes at the mouth of a valley. 'Les Hauts Jarrons' is situated on the slope towards Beaune, which produces finer, more aromatic and 'feminine' wines than the Pernand-Vergelesses side. Viticulture: This wine is made from fruit from 50 year old vines and yields are controlled with stringent de-budding. Cluster thinning took place where necessary. No fertiliser was used on the vineyards. The soil was worked in order to encourage the microbacterial activity required for the terroir to express itself. The Harvest The grapes were hand picked at optimum maturity and put into small perforated boxes. Patriat has two sorting tables, with 10 people per table, looking for any grape that isn't fit to go into the fermenting vat. Vinification The grapes were destemmed and the whole, uncrushed berries were put into open wooden foudres. No yeasts, enzymes or tannins were added, to avoid altering the character of the must. The cold soak lasted for 5-6 days. Patriat doesn't plunge during this first week, as he thinks only bitter tannins are extracted at this stage. Once fermentation starts, the cap is plunged by foot . Maceration lasts for about three weeks, and malolactic happens ''when it happens''. Maturation The wine was matured in barrel for 16 months without racking . The wine is very lightly filtered before bottling. (6 x 75 cl)

This Pinot Noir is an intense and brilliant red colour showing a nose marked by a discreet woodiness from the 16 months barrel ageing. In the mouth there is good texture and a meaty, supple character. (6 x 75 cl)
