Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Marconnets Chanson 2018

The wine

From a clay-chalk terroir, this Pinot Noir produces a wine with a deep, ruby shade in which intense aromas of blackberry, spices, and vanilla are harmonised to perfection. Well-balanced, it develops an ample texture with softened tannins. Its persistent finish promises a good ageing potential.

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.
