Les Crêtes

For the Chardonnay Cuvee Bois from Les Cretes, Constantine Charrere specially commissions barriques of fine woods with optimal toasting, which allow to soften the savory and mineral characteristics typical of mountain wines. Ageing sur lies and frequent bâtonnages result in a very balanced wine with important complexity.
