Les Crêtes was founded in 1989 in Aymavilles by Costantino Charrère, who with foresight and determination created one of the most important winemaking realities in the Aosta Valley. Costantino’s contribution was providential in renewing Aosta Valley viticulture and elevating it to an international level.
Les Cretes is coordinated by the Charrère family, which for five generations has been inextricably linked to the production of high-quality wine. The company currently has about 25 hectares of vineyards cultivated with international varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Nero, Syrah, and native vines such as Petite Arvine, Mayolet, Cornalin, Fumin, Petit Rouge and Nebbiolo. The annual production of Les Crêtes wines is around 200,000 bottles produced.
Chardonnay Cuvée Bois by Les Crêtes is the fruit of a unique terroir, characterized by morainic soils and an ideal exposure. The grapes, hand-picked and delicately pressed, ferment in French oak barrels, acquiring notes of vanilla and spices that blend perfectly with the freshness and minerality typical of this grape variety.
The color of Chardonnay Cuvée Bois by Les Cretes is an intense yellow with golden and brilliant reflections; on the nose it releases aromas of ripe white pulp fruit such as pear and peach, hazelnut, candied citron and banana combined with hints of vanilla and mineral notes. On the palate it is dense, rich and elegant with a pleasant overall harmony that entices glass after glass. Perfect for tasting on important or formal occasions to savor rare and genuine aromas, thanks to an experienced work.
