2024 Chateau de Charodon, Saint-Aubin Blanc, 1er Cru Les Frionnes

Founded in 2010 by Louis Vallet, Château de Charodon operates from Montagny-lès-Beaune as an extension of a deeply rooted multi-generational winemaking family. Sourced from 35-to-40-year-old vines planted in higher-altitude, cooler clay-limestone soils of the Saint-Aubin appellation, the wine relies on sustainable farming and gentle vinification. In the glass, it displays matchstruck minerality, crisp green apple, and zesty lemon-lime freshness with a precisely balanced, cleanly reductive texture. The 2024 growing season highlights the site's natural tension, keeping the fruit profile vibrant and focused. This bottle is ready to enjoy soon for its energy, offering clear value and lively definition for everyday cellaring or upcoming dinners.
