2015 Domaine Chanson 'Les Vergelesses' Premier Cru Pernand-Vergelesses

Domaine Chanson is one of the great historic producers in Burgundy. Founded in 1750, they are 1 of only 6 producers in the region still remaining from the 18th century and earlier. Chanson was purchased in 1999 and has been dramatically restored to once again become one of Burgundy’s top estates, best signified in 2017 by 3 of their wines earning “wine of the year” plaudits from the most renowned wine critic in France. Their wines are defined by lifted and exotic aromas, a supple texture, and rich, dense fruit without heaviness. Chanson is notably obsessed with maintaining top quality across its entire range.

Chanson owns a vineyard of 5.4 hectares in premier Cru "Les Vergelesses". The plot is located in a hollow at the bottom of the hill of Corton and its clay and limestone soil combination gives wines with a specific structure.

Tasting Notes: 100% Pinot Noir. Dark ruby. Intense aromas of black chocolate mixed with a hint of mint. Dense, unctuous. Ripe and spicy tannins. Outstanding finish. Great aging potential. Enjoy with grilled steak and a wide selection of French cheeses, in particular Brie.
