Every year, this wine is created with grapes from the most valuable plots of the Dealu Mare vineyard. There is no strict recipe, the first Charlotte (in 1999) was an assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Fetească Neagră; the 2010 harvest was an assemblage of Fetească Neagră and Merlot. This cuvée is a rare and prestigious wine, firstly created by Guy de Poix in 1999 for Charlotte, his eldest daughter. This is a wine with great acidity and elegant, well integrated tannins, and it is bound to further develop its character and complexity over time.
