Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Hauts Marconnets Chanson 2021

The wine

This Savigny-Lès-Beaune comes from a particularly chalky and marly soil. Aged for 16 months in oak barrels and subject to regular bâtonnage, on tasting, the wine has a pale golden hue with a complex aromatic bouquet. There are notes of citrus fruit, honey, white flowers and vanilla. The palate is enhanced by wonderful acidity and a fine mineral structure as well as a lemony finish. This wine can be enjoyed both immediately and after keeping for several years.

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.
