Sparkling wine from the Charente J&L CHARLEMAGNE

In 1921, after fleeing the rise of fascism in Italy, Lucien Charlemagne, a former employee of the Lanson wine cellars in Reims, ended his trek in Angoulême, with the idea to launch the manufacture of a sparkling wine following a traditional method, called at that time 'Sparkling wines from the South-West'. Since this time the business carried on through his sons and then more recently the Charlemagne wine cellars have become the property of the Bouyer family: Mr Bouyer the father to start, then his son Emmanuel as from 1996. The traditional method and the name Charlemagne were conserved.

J&L CHARLEMAGNE TRADITION - A White and Rose created in 1995, the tradition range is a blend of the fresh traditional varietals from the Cognac lands and of the richly flavoured Chardonnay.

CHARDONNAY and rose vintages are produced from carefully selected grapes among the noblest varietals. Their rich aroma achieves fullness after growing and maturing in our cellars through time.

CHARDONNAY resulting from grapes of the organic farming. Issued from the will to develop etic production respecting environment and soil.

MCMXXI This vintage pays tribute to the cellars' and brand's founder. It is a subtle blend of carefully selected Chardonnay and Pinot-Noir varietals from our vineyards.

The Wines CAP SUD are produced on carefully selected pieces of land, with a low yield (80 HL/ha at a maximum) and the capacity to provide richly flavoured grapes, thus offering pleasurable and elegant fruity wines.
