Information
Located in Beaune, the Chanson Père et Fils house was founded in 1750 by Simon Verry. It was then taken over by Nicolas Chanson in the 19th century, who developed the house’swinemaking activity and gave it its current name. It was purchased in 1999 by the Bollinger group; the vineyard now spans 45 hectares. The vines are grown organically, and the soils tilled; in the winery, a high proportion of stems is retained. The wines (especially reds) are of great quality and amply reward cellaring.
In a clay-chalk soil, the vines are located half way up the Corton mountain, fully exposed to the east. This ruby red wine exudes intense aromas of blackcurrant, prune, and spices. On the palate, it is an explosion of black fruits lifted by notes of liquorice. Its mouthfeel is powerful and chewy. Its softened tannins lead to a long and generous finish.
