Chartogne-Taillet Cuvée Les Orizeaux 2020 (Disg. Apr 2025)

This deep-soil vine needs many years to transfer the valuable salts from the subsoil to the grapes. The grape variety can then take over, without adding complexity. Each year, Les Orizeaux is matured in old oak barrels, from 2 to 9 wines, of Burgundy origin. No lees stirring is necessary, as the structure of the wine does not accept any additional heaviness. Les Orizeaux is a wine that can be appreciated in many ways. Aged in vats without air contact, it retains a supple, slightly oily texture on the mid-palate. Aged in barrels, this wine blossoms by balancing its chewiness as soon as the salts appear during ageing. This oily texture expands to offer a saline balance.
