Beaune 1er Cru Clos du Roi Chanson (Domaine) 2021

The wine

The Bollinger Group took control of this wonderful estate found in the heart of Beaune in 1999. Since then, the estate has not stopped progressing under the guidance of the famous Gilles de Courcel and Jean-Pierre Confuron (who left the estate in 2019). They worked hard to develop the estate until it reached a significant level during the 2010s. A notable fact proven correct by the Pinot Noir wines made from whole grape clusters. Those who enjoy wines with exceptional ripeness, dazzling fruit aromas, masterfully made from whole grape clusters will particularly enjoy this estate’s red wines.
That also includes this wonderful Clos du Roi, a Climat Classé Premier Cru, on the boarder of Beaune and Savigny-lès-Beaune. The latter often brings a wonderful delicacy, a silky finish and an impressive minerality to the wines.
Domaine Chanson produces a robust wine, made for storing for a long time and capable of surviving the passing of time. It will be tremendously delicate, elegant and sophisticated after ten years in the cellar. A great wine of the future.

About the Producer Chanson

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.
