Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière Chanson 2015

The wine

Fully exposed to the east, La Perrière is a premier cru located on clay-chalk soil that is well-drained due to the steepness of its slope. With a beautiful dark red colour, this wine gives off floral aromas of peony along with notes of prune, blackcurrant and liquorice. Its texture is supple and structured with lovely, soft tannins. It is rounded off with delicately oaky hints. Beef fillet or Tournedos Rossini would be perfect dishes with which to serve this wine.

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.
