Company email, February 2011:

"Please revert to our 'older' comment about the rare use of albumin. It is correct." [Note: we've asked for more information]

From the company (July 2011):

"I came across your notation of our winery as NOT vegan friendly. We have not used albumin as a fining agent for many years. If we fine at all we use bentonite. Therefore we are vegan friendly."

Company email (older):

"At Chateau des Charmes our fining agent of choice is bentonite, an inert clay. On rare occasions we will need to supplement the bentonite with albumin (egg white). But this is the winemaking team's decision and is on a tank-by-tank basis."
