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.
Domaine Chanson, part of the Bollinger Group after it was purchased by the Champagne company in 1999, owes its revitalisation to Gilles de Courcel who, as manager of the company, knew how to give the estate a breath of fresh air, allowing it to reach the top rung. The estate, advised up until the 2019 vintage by Jean-Pierre Confuron, knows how to produce extraordinary wines for amateurs and experts alike. The entire harvest is perfect and masterful; a wine made for long keeping. Retaining a superb elegance, these fine and powerful wines are true gems which need to be kept for numerous years in the cellar to allow them to blossom.
Le Clos des Mouches, flag bearer of Domaine Joseph Drouhin, is one of the most beautiful climats in Beaune. This is where Clos des Fèves generally reigns, but Clos des Mouches brings elegance, delicacy and the definition of precision. The subtle aromas of mint, flowers, cold stones, fresh cherries, and brandy fill the nose with elegant tannins playfully flowing through the whole harvest. A wine of great finesse that should be left for at least 20 years for it to show off the wonderful vintage.
