Domaine Chanson
Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022
Bourgogne
The grapes for Domaine Chanson’s Bourgogne Rouge are sourced exclusively from select estate-owned vineyards in the Côte de Nuits, as well as several terroirs located in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune.
VINEYARD
The vineyards have clay-limestone soils. As with all their grower relationships, Chanson harvests all fruit with their team in order to maximize control over fruit quality and picking times.
WINEMAKING
Handpicked, partial whole bunch maceration. Alcoholic fermentation in still tank and for a part aged in barrels for 10 months (no new oak)
VINTAGE
After a winter characterized by marked variations in temperature between January and February, spring started with mild temperatures. A sequence of cold weather in April was followed by warm temperatures in May but the lack of water was very noticeable and could not be compensated by the rainy storms of June. Summer was marked by several and long heat waves and the storms of the end of August were most welcome. The harvest at Chanson started on August 30 with a team of 100 persons and ended on September 13. 2022 vintage was quite generous both in volume and quality and the red wines are generous and well-balanced with an outstanding crunchy fruit.
TASTING NOTE
Bright ruby colour. Intense and very fresh aromas of red berries (strawberry, raspberry, cherry) mixed with pepper. Well-balanced and well-craftted. Fleshy with an outstanding aromatic expression. Long and fruity finish.
Food Pairing
Super “everyday” Burgundy, ideal with braised and roasted meats, as well as meat-sauced pastas.
