Description
Charme is all about elegance, balance and finesse, achieved by taking special attention to the smallest details during the entire wine-making process. Made in traditional stone lagares with 100% grape stems, Charme's elegance is achieved using grapes from very old vineyards in Vale de Mendiz, on the banks of the Pinhao river. it is one of Dirk Niepoort's signature wine and the ultimate definition of his love for Burgundy.
Tasting Notes
Deeper in colour than 2010. The nose is complex and impressive with fresh red fruit aromas, delicate notes of balsamic herbs and tea leaves that contribute to a great aromatic complexity. The palate is fresh and long with an elegant structure and velvety tannins. The mineral notes together with a strong presence of fresh fruit flavors provide an intense and persistent long aftertaste.
