Estate
One of the great historic producers of France, founded in 1750 and purchased by the Champagne Bollinger family in
1999, Chanson today is one of only six producers in Burgundy still remaining from the 18th century and earlier. Chanson has been meticulously managed since 1999 to become one of Burgundy’s top estates. Domaine Chanson's extensive holdings, and the extraordinary rigor and precision of their approach in the vineyards and cellars,
result in wines of individuality and quality.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby colour. Fragrances of peony and violet fragrances mixed with refreshing aromas of ripe black berries mixed with liquorice. Well-balanced with a generous texture. Sappy with elegant tannins. Refreshing and fruity aftertaste.
Food pairing
Cooked pork meats, pate, pie, grilled or roasted meat, fowles and "fromages a pate pressee".
Vintage
After a cold winter and a mild spring, the weather conditions in Summer were ideal with cold nights and warm days and enabled a perfect maturation of the grapes. The harvest took place mid September under a bright sunshine. The red wines develop beautiful aromas of ripe red and black berries with a flehsy texture.
