2023 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves

Tasting notes:

On the Mont Battois hillside, facing Beaune, the name “Grèves” derives from the sandy and gravely soil. Separated from the Clos des Fèves by a narrow path this Chanson vineyard covers 2 hectares. Beautiful aromas of red berries (cherries, strawberry, raspberry) mixed with delicate vegetal notes on a hint of spice and vanilla. Well-balanced and well-structured. Deep and precise texture. Elegant tannins. Delicate oak note. Long and spicy finish with fruity notes.

Producer description:

Domaine Chanson has been under the Bollinger family’s ownership since 1999. They invested in both vineyards and cellar and improve the quality of the wines. The estate spreads over 45 hectares of exclusively Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Beaune and a further 50 ha of vineyards in the Côte Chalonnaise. Plot selection, yield control and short pruning are some of the strict rules followed in the vineyards to produce wines of the purest Burgundian spirit. The wines from Beaune will be certified organic from the 2024 vintage.
