Bush de Charmes
Bush de Charmes appeared in 2014. It starts as Bush Triple, which after conventional conditioning matures for more than four months in oak casks that previously held white Burgundy from the Charmes vineyards of Meursault. A refermentation in the bottle leaves a natural haze and a strength of 12.5%. It pours a hazy blond. Yellow fruit, flowers and citrus meet vinous Chardonnay notes and a faint woody, smoky edge; the palate is velvety and round, with a mineral liveliness and a clear, refreshing acidity.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bush de Charmes
Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Drink within 2 years. Some complexity develops with age but the yeast character is best relatively fresh.
