Description
The complexity and aromatic richness of a Beaune Premier Cru signed Chanson
The property
Founded in 1750, Chanson is one of the most famous houses in Burgundy. The estate is located in a bastion erected in the early 16th century as a watchtower with 8-meter thick walls, nicknamed "La Tour des Filles" and today dedicated to the maturation of the house's wines. Well known to lovers of great Burgundy wines, the Domaine Chanson offers confidential vintages that brilliantly reveal the expression of the greatest wine-producing villages of the Côte de Beaune.
The vineyard
The Chanson estate covers 45 hectares of vineyards located in the most beautiful appellations of the Côte de Beaune, exclusively in Premiers and Grands Crus (Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Savigny-Les-Beaune, Corton).
The wine
Owner of a 4.3 hectare parcel of the mythical Clos des Mouches, the Chanson estate cultivates 2.5 hectares of pinot noir. Located on clay-limestone marl soils, the Clos des Mouches is one of the greatest terroirs of Beaune. Close to the Premiers Crus of Pommard, the Clos des Mouches benefits from a superb exposure with a south-east orientation conferring to the wines this solar and generous character.
The vintage
If 2019 starts with a mild winter, the spring is marked by temperature variations and a significant rainfall, leading to a lot of millerandage. The scorching summer was punctuated by thunderstorms that saved the vineyard.
Vinification and maturation
Fermentation in whole bunches. The wine is aged for 14 to 18 months in the 15th century Bastion with a moderate proportion of new barrels.
The blend
This 2019 Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Mouches from Domaine Chanson is a 100% pinot noir.
Tasting
Dress
The robe is a dark ruby colour.
Nose
The nose is fresh and blends fragrances of strawberry puree, raspberry and cherry. When aired, spicy notes give a smooth complexity to this bouquet.
Palate
Balanced and complex, the mouth seduces by its pure expression of fruit, its density mixed with a beautiful depth as well as its persistent and elegant finish.
