Description
The 2023 Chateau de Charodon Fixin 'La Croix Blanche' is a concentrated and structured red Burgundy crafted from 40- to 60-year-old Pinot Noir vines. On the nose, it is expressive and vibrant, offering a complex bouquet of red and dark cherries, wild raspberries, and delicate floral notes underpinned by earthy spices. The palate is defined by a firm, fine-grained structure and a deep purity of fruit, showcasing dark berry flavors and a distinct mineral detail. Its finish is long and persistent, balanced by a bright medium-plus acidity that highlights the freshness of the 2023 vintage. Vinified with approximately 20% whole clusters and aged in barrels with only 15% new oak, the wine maintains a precise, terroir-driven character that reflects the clay-limestone soils of its lower-slope vineyard.
