Bourgogne Chardonnay

Domaine Chanson is a historic and prestigious winery located in the heart of Burgundy, France, with headquarters in Beaune. Founded in 1750, it has a long tradition of producing high-quality wines, deeply rooted in the terroir of the region. Maison Chanson is one of the oldest wine houses in Beaune. Over the centuries, it has maintained a strong commitment to the excellence and authenticity of its wines. In 1999, Domaine Chanson was acquired by the Bollinger family group, known for its prestigious Champagne House. This acquisition brought new resources and a renewed impetus to the company, while respecting its heritage and savoir-faire. Domaine Chanson has a remarkable wine-growing heritage that extends over approximately 45 hectares, located in some of the most renowned appellations of Burgundy. The vineyards are mainly classified as Premier Cru and Grand Cru, located in vocated areas such as Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Savigny-lès-Beaune and Pernand-Vergelesses. This exceptional terroir allows Domaine Chanson to grow Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes of the highest quality, an authentic expression of the different parcels.

The grapes for Domaine Chanson's Bourgogne Chardonnay wine are generally hand-picked when they reach optimum ripeness. The whole or partially destemmed grapes are then softly pressed to delicately extract the free-run must. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (generally between 16 and 18°C) to preserve the freshness of the grape variety's primary aromas. A portion of the cuvée may be fermented or aged in French oak barrels of varying ages and toastings to add structural and aromatic complexity without overwhelming the fruit. Malolactic fermentation is often done in part or in full to add roundness and smoothness to the wine. Aging occurs on the fine lees (sur lies) for a variable period, usually 5 to 6 months, in stainless steel tanks and/or oak barrels, with periodic bâtonnage to increase the aromatic complexity and structure of the wine. The Bourgogne Blanc AOC designation covers the entire Burgundy wine region of France. The grapes for this specific Domaine Chanson wine come from select parcels located predominantly in the Mâconnais and Côte Chalonnaise, with a small percentage also coming from the Côte de Beaune.

It has a bright straw yellow color, sometimes with greenish reflections when young, evolving towards a more intense gold with aging. On the nose it expresses itself with an elegant and lively bouquet, characterized by notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white-fleshed fruit (apple, pear), often accompanied by floral scents (white flowers, acacia) and a subtle minerality that reflects the terroir of origin. Any aging in wood can add delicate notes of vanilla, hazelnut and a light toasting, harmoniously integrated with the fruity profile. On the palate the attack is frank and lively, thanks to a good acidity that gives freshness and tension. The structure is medium-bodied, with a balance between the acid component and a pleasant roundness. The flavors recall the olfactory notes, with a notable aromatic persistence and a clean and mineral finish, sometimes with a light citrus hint. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. It is ideal as an aperitif and goes well with light appetizers, salads, fish and seafood preparations (also grilled or steamed), delicate white meats, poultry, fresh and medium-aged cheeses.
