MeadowDescription
The minerality and aromatic purity of a Premier Cru of Chassagne-Montrachet
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
The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru "Les Chenevottes" of the Chanson estate is made from a 2 hectare plot. Because of its location on the famous Chassagne stone, this vineyard is unique because of its stony soil with a dominant clay-limestone aspect. Facing east, the vines benefit from a fresh air which contributes to the pure, fresh and aromatic signature of this wine.
The vintage
A particularly cold winter preceded a spring with mixed weather conditions. If the summer was punctuated by episodes of coolness and rain, the beginning of September was a real Indian summer which favored the maturation of the grapes.
Vinification and maturation
A soft pressing precedes a traditional vinification. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels.
The blend
