Carmen

Although perhaps less well-known than some of his colleagues, Carmen is the oldest of the bodegas still active in Chilean viticulture. Until 1988, the company, founded in 1850, led a fairly inconspicuous existence. However, it was then taken over by the Claro family, as co-owner also involved in companies such as Santa Rita and Los Vascos. Significant investment was made and the opportunity was taken to establish one of Chile's most modern wineries. The construction of the new cellars at the foot of the Andes Mountains allowed them to be constructed in such a way that all movements with the wine take place only under the influence of gravity.
But the basis of Carmen's success does not even lie in the ultramodern installations, but in the vineyard. With the arrival of the young winemaker Alvaro Espinoza in the early 1990s, the emphasis was placed on the quality of the grapes. He learned at Château Margaux and Moët & Chandon to take the utmost care of the vineyard. Carmen is also able to do this, because it sources all grapes from vineyards that it owns. At Carmen, the yield of the vineyards has been restricted, which means that the wines are more powerful and full of character than we are used to from many Chilean wines. In addition, the wines really taste of the grape variety they are made from. Those who taste them are immediately impressed by the great possibilities of this promising wine country.

Hoewel misschien iets minder bekend dan sommige collega's, is Carmen de oudste van de nu nog in de Chileense wijnbouw actieve bodega's. Tot 1988 leidde het in 1850 gestichte bedrijf een vrij onopvallend bestaan. Toen werd het echter overgenomen door de Claro familie, als mede-eigenaar ook betrokken bij bedrijven als Santa Rita en Los Vascos. Er kon flink worden geïnvesteerd, en men maakte van de gelegenheid gebruik om een van de modernste wijnbedrijven van Chili neer te zetten. Door de bouw van de nieuwe kelders aan de voet van het Andesgebergte konden ze zo worden geconstrueerd dat alle bewegingen met de wijn slechts onder invloed van de zwaartekracht plaatsvinden.

Maar de basis van het succes van Carmen ligt niet eens in de hypermoderne installaties, maar in de wijngaard. Met de komst, begin jaren '90, van de jonge wijnmaker Alvaro Espinoza werd het accent gelegd op de kwaliteit van de druiven. Hij leerde bij Château Margaux en Moët & Chandon om uiterste zorg te besteden aan de wijngaard. Carmen wordt daartoe mede in staat gesteld, omdat het alle druiven haalt van wijngaarden die in eigen bezit zijn. Bij Carmen heeft men de opbrengst van de wijngaarden aan banden gelegd, en dat betekent dat de wijnen krachtiger en voller van karakter zijn dan we van veel Chileense exemplaren gewend zijn. Bovendien smaken de wijnen echt naar het druivenras waar ze van gemaakt zijn. Wie ze proeft is direct onder de indruk van de grote mogelijkheden van dit veelbelovende wijnland.
