Terroir
Plot selection on the ideally exposed hillsides south of the village of Chablis, planted on the unique Kimmeridgian soil, composed of limestone and fossils.
Vintage report
After a mild winter, beginning of spring was marked by unstable weather conditions, which fortunately enough settled down end May with warm and even very warm temperatures. This situation encouraged a rapid blossoming in excellent conditions. Spring ended with a water deficit which was never compensated. July and August were marked by a succession of very warm temperatures and storms. End of August, a very hot weather settled down with temperatures around 35°C which enabled the grapes to perfect their ripeness. At Chanson, the harvest started on September 5 and ended on September 16. The white wines are very expressive with beautiful aromas of pale fleshed fruit and an outstanding structure.
Tasting
Pale gold color. Fragrances of white flowers (hawthorn) with citrus notes. Slight mineral touch. Fresh attack. Well-balanced, taut and precise. Fresh, mineral finish.
Wine & food pairings
Terrines, fish, poultry, veal à la crème and certain goat's cheeses.
For our estate, it all begins in the vineyards. They are what set us apart. As specialists
in the great terroirs of Burgundy since 1750, we strive to preserve and enrich this
precious heritage, as exemplified by our latest remarkable parcels acquired in 2023…

OF

GREAT
WINES
On two-thirds of our vineyards in the Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, it is the elegant Pinot Noir, Burgundy’s emblematic grape variety, that reveals the many nuances of our soils. The delicate Chardonnay, meanwhile, expresses this diversity through our great Burgundy white wines. Finally, Aligoté completes this palette, offering a lively and precise interpretation of our terroirs…
