The estate

Founded in 1750 by Simon Verry, Chanson is among the oldest Burgundy houses. The estate adopted its current name in 1847 under the direction of Alexis Chanson. Owned by the Bollinger group since 1999 and managed by Vincent Avenel since 2017, the vineyard spans 88 hectares, primarily classified as Premiers and Grands Crus on the Côte de Beaune and in Côte Chalonnaise. Certified organic since 2024, Chanson Bourgogne stands out for its 15th-century Bastion.

The vineyard

The Les Bressandes climat in Beaune covers 2 hectares located on the upper part of the slope, with an easterly exposure. Situated at the mouth of a north-facing valley, the vineyard rests on light clay-limestone soils over the bedrock. The pinot noir vines come from a clonal selection planted in 1992.

The vintage

The 2022 vintage in Bourgogne saw a mild spring marked by low rainfall, followed by a hot summer punctuated by heatwaves. Beneficial storms in late August helped balance ripeness. Harvest took place from August 30 to September 13, yielding wines that are generous in volume and quality, well-balanced, and endowed with luscious fruit.
