Chanson : Charmes-Chambertin Grand cru 2017

The richness and complexity of a Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru red wine

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 covers 45 hectares of vines in the most beautiful appellations of the Côte de Beaune (Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Savigny-Les-Beaune, Corton...), exclusively in Premiers and Grands Crus.

The vineyard

The Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2017 by Chanson stems from the eponymous climat located in the southern part of Gevrey Chambertin. Facing east and located in the middle of the hill, this terroir resting on clay-limestone soil leads to the production of gourmet Charmes-Chambertin wines that showcase a rich aromatic palette.

The vinification and ageing

Fermentation in whole bunches. The wine is aged for 14 to 18 months in the 16th century Bastion with a moderate proportion of new barrels.

The blend

Pinot Noir (100%).
