Tasting

Color
The color reveals a very pale golden hue with bright reflections.

Food and wine pairings

This wine pairs ideally with pan-seared foie gras, refined shellfish or soft cheeses such as aged crottin de chèvre.

Serving and cellaring

The estate

Founded in 1750, the house Chanson holds an essential place in the Burgundian wine landscape. It is housed in a 16th-century fortress known as “La Tour des Filles,” whose eight-meter-thick walls now shelter the aging cellar. Maison Chanson is renowned for its low-yield cuvées, a faithful reflection of the most prestigious terroirs of the Côte de Beaune.

The vineyard

The estate covers 45 hectares exclusively located in premiers and grands crus, in emblematic appellations such as Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune and Corton.

The wine

The “Les Chenevottes” plot, covering 2 hectares, rests on a stony, clay-limestone soil within the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation. Its east-facing exposure promotes slow maturation under the influence of a cool climate.

Winemaking and aging

The grapes are gently pressed before traditional vinification. Aging lasts 12 months in oak barrels, bringing structure and finesse to the wine without masking the identity of the terroir.

Grape variety

100 % Chardonnay.
