Antoine Olivier Santenay Les Charmes 2023
£34.25
The wine
Les Charmes is smooth and complex, with generous cherry and strawberry aromas and hints of violets. Classic, silky and elegant, with fine integrated tannins and a long finish. Red Santenay at its most charming, which the name rather gives away.
The producer
Antoine Olivier
View all Antoine Olivier winesAntoine Olivier was founded at the end of the 1960s from a few vineyards left by Antoine Chevalier Moreau to his grandson, Herve Olivier. Herve set about extending the estate by buying historic old vineyards across Santenay, some of which had lain unused for a century, paying particular attention to the parcels known for white wine.
The quality of those soils now shows in a series of brilliant wines, above all the exceptional white Santenay, a genuine rarity in what is overwhelmingly red wine country. The range reaches up through Santenay Premier Cru Beaurepaire to Pommard.
