Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières Chanson 2020

A well-known Burgundy property, Chanson Père et Fils spans 45 hectares of vines growing on some notable crus. This Meursault premier cru is a beautiful example of what can be made in this Côte de Beaune village, the Chardonnay used to make it enjoying ideal exposure on a south-facing slope.
The grapes are harvested by hand and thoroughly sorted before undergoing a gentle pressing that preserves the varietal’s delicate character. Vinification takes place in oak casks before the wine matures for 12 to 14 months.
In the glass this is a pale cuvée with notes typical of the Chardonnay grape (white fruit like pear, apple, and peach, as well as white flowers), alongside aromas developed during maturation such as vanilla, gentle spices, and nuts like almond and hazelnut. These notes introduce a palate that is perfectly balanced between depth, richness, and a lovely minerality.
