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.
Wild yeast fermentation in tank for about 15 days with approximately 30% whole bunches followed by maturation in French oak barrels for 12 months.
