Chanson : Beaune 1er cru "Bressandes" Domaine 2017

The elegance and complexity of a fine red wine from the Côte de Beaune

The estate

Founded in 1750, Chanson is one of the most famous estates in Burgundy. The estate is located in a watchtower-like bastion, built in the early 16th century, with 8-metre thick walls, nicknamed "La Tour des Filles" and now used to house the wines during the ageing period. Well-known by lovers of fine Burgundian wines, the Chanson Père & Fils estate offers secret vintages that brilliantly reveal the expression of the finest wine-producing villages in the Côte de Beaune.

Domaine Chanson reigns over 45 hectares of vines located exclusively in Premiers Crus and Grands Crus in the most prestigious villages of the Côte de Beaune. Comprising 25 hectares in Beaune, Domaine Chanson is regarded as the specialist of the best Premiers Crus of Beaune.

The vineyard

Bressandes 1er Cru Domaine 2017 by the Chanson house is a Beaune wine that stems from a north-facing two-hectare vineyard located at the mouth of the valley. This Premier Cru is named after Jean Bressand, Canon of Beaune and owner of this vineyard in the 13th century. This climat stands out due to its light clay-limestone soils resting on a bedrock.

The blend

Pinot Noir (100%) from a clonal selection from a vine planted in 1992.

Food and wine pairing

This Beaune Premier Cru will pair with white meats or roasted meats such as a roast rack of lamb with herbs.
