A slightly sweeter style of rosé made from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Despite the high residual sugar, the wine remains balanced due to the tannins from the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
Les Rouannières is a vineyard planted in soils of schist and an oceanic volcanic basalt known as spilite. This wine kicks off with aromas of dark, glossy and perfumed fruit, with notes of sooty plum. The palate feels very fresh and pure, with a tense and bright structure, plus lots of grippy tannins, ripe and fine-grained, with vibrant acidity. All in all, a very appealing style with plenty of grip.

Site
In the heart of the Macon winegrowing region, South of Burgundy. The two villages Vire and Clesse form a unique “terroir” on slopes facing South-East. This is one of the best white wines of the region combining suppleness and minerality.
The village of Chablis, located in the northernmost district of Burgundy, is known for producing steely, crisp wines with intense green-apple acidity and a firm, mineral backbone. Domaine Chanson makes a plot-based selection on hills ideally mostly located in the south of the village.
A great terroir of oolitic limestone, inclined toward the East and standing erect like a sentinel facing south. Rotenberg is the earliest ripening terroir in Bergheim. The red soil, marked by iron and limestone, and the solar climate unite Riesling and Pinot Gris, resulting in a wine with brilliant citrus. Great, fruit-focused wine with beautiful balance, powerful smoky nose with dry extract and magnificent notes of mandarin and lemon.
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. Dark ruby colour with purple nuances. Intense aromas of ripe blackberries mixed with spices and liquorice. Crunchy and generous. Complex and deep texture. Well-crafted tannins. Long and fruity aftertaste.
Gold colour. Subtle floral fragrances mixed with pretty and fresh aromas of pale fleshed fruit mixed with citrus fruit aromas on a hint of minerality. Fleshy and ample on a sappy and tight texture. Deep and long finish with mineral tinges.Chanson is one of the major owners of Clos des Mouches with a vineyard of 4.5 hectares. A sunny terroir which benefits from an ideal location on the hill at the southern end of the vineyards of Beaune on a spur pointing toward Pommard . A plot of 2 hectares on the upper side of the hill is planted with Chardonnay on a limestone subsoil covered with sand.
The Chateau sits on a 18 hectare vineyard surrounding one of the rare castles in Sancerre, in Thauvenay (south east of the Appellation).Facing the Loire, the vineyard on chalky soil. With aromas of apple, mango and grapefruit this wine develops strength and character while in the glass. Go all out and enjoy with lobster.
Burg is one of Deiss’ most prized terroirs, with its south-facing aspect and multi-coloured Keuper marls and rare limestone insertions. Mainly planted with Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Muscat and Gerwürztraminer, Burg is a robust wine, complex and structured, with great ageing potential. The fruit is fermented in barrels using indigenous yeasts, and the wine is then matured in oak barrels on fine lees for 12 months. Each of these highly aromatic varieties gives the wine its extraordinary complexity and spiced notes with a hint of citrus peel. It makes an exquisite pairing with exotic, spiced dishes.

A very pale rose with grapefruit and exotic fruits on the nose and a delicate freshness on the palate with hints of roses and red fruits. Winemaking is traditional with a focus on preserving freshness and aromatic purity. A great aperitif.
The right bank of the Rhone (the Gard department) is known for its Syrah. This is a fine example, packing plenty of plum and garrigue into a full-bodied, well-structured wine. Dried herbs, cocoa powder and espresso mingle on the still firm finish.
The top cuvée. One for the purist terroirists rather than the hedonists. The finished blend is almost 100% botrytised fruit and has residual sugar of 175 g/l. The nose is admirably high-toned and full of toasted-honeyed nuts, with a bed of grilled and dried berry fruits. The palate shows great substance and polish, with a velvety, creamed-fruit texture, polished and weighty, cut through by a fresh acid bite. This is imposing, textural, majestic even, with tangible weight and an impressive length. It remains fresh throughout, though, and it retains a sense of purity. An excellent cuvée and an absolute must for the cellar.
40-year-old vines are handpicked followed by a 14-day whole cluster semi-carbonic maceration in concrete and steel tanks. A floral scent with hints of cherries and plums. Juicy and fresh fruit with long with marked acidity and fresh tannins that add some gentle grip to the tenacious finish.
A blend of all of Trapet’s Gevrey 1er cru sites — Clos Prieur, Petite Chapelle, Combottes, Corbeaux and Ergot — the Alea is only produced in vintages with extremely small quantities. A more elegant and more floral-suffused nose reflects notes of both earth and dark berries with a hint of the sauvage lurking in the background. There is similarly good volume and mid-palate density to the delicious round and relatively supple medium weight flavours that contrast markedly with the very firm powerful finale
