Description

The suppleness and aromatic richness of a Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru red wine

The estate

Founded in 1750, Chanson is one of the most famous houses in Burgundy. The estate is located in a bastion erected at the beginning of the 16th century as a watchtower with 8-metre thick walls, nicknamed "La Tour des Filles" and now dedicated to ageing the house wines. Well known to enthusiasts of great Burgundy wines, the Chanson estate offers exclusive 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 vines planted in the most beautiful appellations of the Côte de Beaune (Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Savigny-Les-Beaune, Corton), exclusively in Burgundy Premier and Grand Crus.

The wine

"Les Vergelesses" Domaine 2021 is a Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru wine made from a 5.4 hectare vineyard, which gave its name to the village of Pernand. Located on the south side of the Corton hill, this terroir is unique in its soil typology. While the soil is heavy and stony at the top of the plot, the bottom of the plot is more clayey, giving the wine complexity and power.

The vintage

The 2021 vintage saw a disrupted weather pattern and low harvests. After a winter with significant temperature variations, spring turned out to be almost summery. The buds that had already formed thanks to the mild temperatures were strongly affected by the wave of frost that occurred between 6 and 10 April. The effects were visible very quickly and compromised the harvest. Alternating periods of rain and high temperatures triggered a frantic growth of the vine, which became vulnerable to attacks of mildew and powdery mildew. Heat and humidity characterised the summer. Fortunately, the cooler temperatures at the end of August allowed the grapes to ripen while maintaining the freshness of the fruit. The harvest took place in good conditions. However, the volumes were very low.

Winemaking and ageing

Following the harvests, the grapes were meticulously sorted and each bunch was individually chilled. This stage allowed the vinification team to take control of the temperature for the pre-fermentation maceration phase of 4-8 days, to preserve as much of the fruit as possible. A partial destemming (70%) came before a short fermentation phase (2-3 weeks). Ageing took place in casks with a proportion of 25-30% new casks.
