Description

Wines from Les Couarres open up over time. These are certainly the wines that require the most rigour when overseeing their maturation. Their delicate and sticky 'clay' texture means that rapid oxygen uptake must be avoided as much as possible during the aging process. Wines from Les Couarres are marked by a spherical "stickiness" on the palate, followed by freshness with medium acidity throughout the finish. The differences between the tufa part and the clay part principally concern an environment that is for stony for one (tufa), and cooler and tauter for the other (clay).

  • Hectares: 11
In the 7th century, the winegrowers of the village of Merfy drew on the heritage of the Benedictine monks of Saint Thierry Abbey. Generation after generation, the Merfy vine-growers, together with the abbey, shaped the vine-growing landscapes of our hills, meticulously separating each plot according to its geological origins, soils, subsoils, etc. The names were later inscribed on village maps and became the 'lieu-dits', cultivating the vines that grow there today.

The family's wine-making tradition traces back to 1490, with Nicolas Taillet and Fiacre Taillet in 1540. In 1700, a second Fiacre Taillet, a learned winegrower, wrote his memoirs recounting his life and all the important events in the village, his family and his profession. The Chartogne-Taillet family continues this tradition and savoir-faire inherited from this winegrowing heritage. Read more
