Wine information
The Chamery Rouges is a Coteaux Champenois, a still wine from the Champagne region. It was produced from 100 % Pinot Noir de Chamery. The topsoil there consists of calcareous loam interspersed with limestone pebbles, the subsoil of sands and fossil shells. The grapes were only partially destemmed, fermentation was initiated spontaneously and the Pinot fermented for 20 days in 300-litre amphorae, in which it then matured until July 2021. The wine was bottled without the addition of sulphur.
Color
bright cherry-red
Nose
The absence of sulphur ensures that this wine is very open right from the start and it also smells very typically of unsulphured Pinot, where yeast and knobbly cherries meet wild berry yoghurt and a fresh and still warm raspberry tart.
Palate
On the palate, the wine is juicy and lively. Here, too, the openness combined with the fine-pored texture so typical of amphora ageing is evident. This is a Pinot that now wants to be drunk with pleasure and appears very drinkable. The juicy cherry notes that oscillate between ripeness and acidity contribute to this, as does the hint of carbonic acid that can still be sensed at the tip of the tongue, and likewise the taut mouthfeel.
