Description
Born and raised between the vineyards and the cellars, Charlotte is the youngest generation of the Dutch-New Zealand wine family Lemstra-Bake. Together with the cellar team of her home Château Canet, she created a range of wines in her name reflecting a young and elegant style. Not over structured, oaky powerhouses but fresh, fruit oriented and subtle: “L’élégance du Languedoc”.
Château Canet is a family run wine and olive domaine in the appellation of Minervois. Winemaker and owner Floris Lemstra tends to his 45 hectares estate following the principles of Terra Vitis, promoting sustainability throughout his vineyard. In order to further boost the ecosystem across his land, Floris maintains a 3 hectare olive grow alongside a vast wild pine forest. The Fleur de Charlotte range is named after Victoria and Floris’ daughter, Charlotte.
Tasting Notes: Brimming with bright summer fruits such as black cherry and strawberry, this fresh fruit driven Merlot from the Languedoc has gentle tannins and a medium body making it fantastically versatile.
Food Pairing Suggestions: Roast pork loin with blackberry-balsamic sauce
