2021 | Maison Chantereves | Corton-Charlemagne

This is quite reduced with some bacon fat showing as well. Good strong back bone to this, though the reductive character takes the lead at the moment. Grapefruit notes appear at the finish.

Producer Information

Maison Chanterêves is the micro-négociant project of winemakers Tomoko Kuriyama and Guillaume Bott. Japanese by birth, Tomoko studied at the respected wine university in Geisenheim, Germany, becoming estate manager at the renowned Friedrich Altenkirch (once vintner to the Kaiser) in the Rheingau. In France, Tomoko and her husband Guillaume, winemaker at Simon Bize, have teamed up since 2010 to craft remarkable wines from a cellar tucked under a modern house in Savigny-lès-Beaune. The couple buys small quantities of organic grapes from various vineyards in Burgundy (and other appellations). They employ a high percentage of whole cluster fermentation and a very low dose of SO₂. These are wines full of energy but very much in the “natural wine” aesthetic: straightforward expressions, reflecting a fresh-faced purity without artifice, embellishment or pretension – sans maquillage. Wine writer Steen Öhman characterizes the wines as “made with a German precision, a Japanese attention to detail, and a French knowledge of the terroir.
