Domaine Chanson - Beaune Clos des Mouches - Blanc 1er Cru 2011
Vintage
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 14 months.
Food pairing
To be enjoyed with seafood and goat's cheese.
Site
Chanson is one of the major owners of Clos des Mouches with a vineyard of 4.5 hectares. A sunny Terroir which benefits from an ideal location on the hill at the southern end of the vineyards of Beaune on a spur pointing toward Pommard . A plot of 2 hectares on the upper side of the hill is planted with Chardonnay on a limestone subsoil covered with sand.
Tasting notes
Pale gold color. Intense citrus fruit aromas mixed with fresh butter notes and spices on a hint of minerality. Generous with a good volume. Opulent with an onctuous texture. Well-shaped acidity. Persistant and mineral aftertaste.
