Chateau Charmant 17 Items Follow

Operated since the beginning of the 19th century, three generations of the Renon family have proudly crafted world class wines. The estate extends 10 acres between the communes of Margaux and Soussans on gravelly and sandy-gravelly soils located on south and southwest facing ridges of the prestigious Margaux appellation. The vineyard is surrounded by many Grands Crus (Château Margaux, Lascombe, Cantenac Brown) with century-old vines, the average age of 55 to 60 years is composed of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It is cultivated by fertilization based on organic manure. Château Charmant is a classic estate. Traditional cultivation is observed, the vineyard are hand plowed and not chemically weeded. This natural approach results in optimal conditions for good control of yields, thus allowing the grapes to develop as well as possible. Co-planting is carried out regularly in order to perpetuate the vineyards and ensure that the balance of the plots is maintained. The harvest is done entirely manually with sorting at the picking stage, then on a sorting table on the harvest bin. Vinification is traditional in thermo-regulated vats. The wines are aged for 12 months in oak barrels, 25% to 30% of which are new barrels and the rest in barrels of one, two and three wines. The wines are fined with egg white and then bottled.
