Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Chanson
Information
About the producer

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.

About the wine

This Burgundy house in the Côte d’Or area crafts a wine from the famous Clos de Vougeot. The Pinot Noir used to make it was grown in an ideal spot not far from the eponymous estate, and its vines push deep into the clay- and chalk-rich soil for all the nutrients necessary for it to flourish. Once at optimal ripeness, the grapes are harvested by hand. The domain’s practices have respect for raw materials at the heart. This means that the fruit is picked by parcel, the soil is ploughed (encouraging microbial life), the plants are pruned, and the yields are limited.
In the winery, vinification begins by macerating the grapes cold, bringing out the colour and delicate flavours of the Pinot Noir. Then there is a long fermentation before the wine matures for 17 months in casks.
In the glass, this is a ruby red wine that gives off notes of black fruit, gentle spices, toasted bread, and Madagascan vanilla. A complex bouquet that introduces a deep palate that is lightly oaky and structured by persistent tannins. We recommend uncorking this wine after ten years of ageing and serving it with a rich dish like grilled meat or characterful cheese.
