Aging The wines do not tolerate filtration. Filtration would modify the wines' textures too much, and therefore alter the balance of richness/saltiness on the palate. The wines of Sainte Anne are blends from different plots, but also from different vintages. Older harvest years soften and temper the lively and spirited character of the younger wines.

Taste

Taste

Sainte Anne's textures are revealed throughout the entire length on the palate. Often initially opulent on the palate, the salts from the sands then give rise to a salivating bitterness. The finish leaves a tight structure that recalls the origin of Champagne wines.

Serve at:

06 - 08 °C.

Longevity:

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1485
  • Oenologist: Alexandre Chartogne
  • 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.

Story The Sainte Anne cuvée is a blend of several harvest years. Its composition is often 50% wines from the year preceding its bottling, and 50% older wines, in reserve for 2 to 5 years.
Aging The wines do not tolerate filtration. Filtration would modify the wines' textures too much, and therefore alter the balance of richness/saltiness on the palate. The wines of Sainte Anne are blends from different plots, but also from different vintages. Older harvest years soften and temper the lively and spirited character of the younger wines.
