Description
Maison Charles Francois Père et Fils is a family owned winery situated in Nantoux in the heart of Côtes de Beaune. The first vines of the estate were planted in the early 1900s and through successive years, the Domaine acquired plots of land that fall under Hautes-Côtes de Beaune and in the notable villages of Volnay, Pommard, Meursault and Beaune. In 1988 Domaine Charles Francois Père et Fils was officially established. Today the estate is run by Francois's son and grandaughter under the name Domaine Charles Père et Fille. Pascal and Pauline adhere to traditional wine making techniques and embrace the Burgundian style. They have expanded the portfolio to include Gevery-Chambertin, Chablis and Nuit-Saint-Georges.
Grapes are harvested manually from vines with an average age of 30 years. The grapes are gently pressed and the juice fermented with 35% whole cluster fermentation. The wine is then aged in French oak for 12 months before its release. Pascal and Pauline monitor the aginging of the wines cosely to ensure the end result wine has evolved to best express the region.

Taste
Notes of lemon curd, yellow apple and a touch of white peaches. On the palate the wine is medium bodied with good structure. The wine delivers a palate of fleshy fruit, minerality which speaks of the soils and a light saline-lemony finish.
