Delicate gold colour. Floral fragrances mixed with aromas of exotic fruit and honey on a hint of minerality. Generous, complex and well-structured. Juicy and chewy. Long and intense aftertaste.

After a very cold winter and a demanding spring, the hot summer was regularly interrupted by rainy intervals. It gave way early September to a bright and warm weather, that speeded up the maturation of the grapes. Harvest began in the last days of September under a bright sunshine. Meticulous vinifications and aging have enabled us to tame the vibrant acidity of the white wines. Aging in oak during 12 months.

Our 2 hectares of Premiers Cru vineyard “Les Chenevottes” is located next door to the famous Terroir “Le Montrachet”. The soil is mostly constituted of clay and limestone with the famous stone of Chassagne and is clearly mineral. The vineyards have a peculiar aspect. They are constituted of small blocs entangled into each other. With its East exposure, on the road to Saint Aubin, this plot benefits from the fresh air which conveys to the wine very pure and refreshing aromas.

To be enjoyed with “foie gras”, seafood and all sorts of cheeses.

THE REGION

Burgundy is one of France’s main wine-producing areas. It is well known for both its red and white wines, mostly made from Pinot noir and Chardonnay grapes, respectively, although other grape varieties can be found, including Gamay, Aligote, Pinot blanc, and Sauvignon blanc. The region is divided into the Côte-d’Or, where the most expensive and prized Burgundies are found, and Beaujolais, Chablis, the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâcon. The reputation and quality of the top wines, together with the fact that they are often produced in small quantities, has led to high demand and high prices, with some Burgundies ranking among the most expensive wines in the world.[14]

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

The history of Chanson is very intimately linked to that of France. It perfectly reflects the evolution of the country through its 260 years of existence. Deep respect for the land, the vine and the wine are the anchor points of all the men and women who passed the baton during this period to carry the colours of Chanson high and with passion.
