Description

Producer: Domaine Chanson
Region: France, Burgundy, Cote de Beaune
Provenance: ex Château
Vintage: 2012
Volume: Bottle (750ml)
Description: After a very cold winter and a cold spring, the weather at the start of summer was quite demanding. It became fine again in the second half of August with hot temperatures. The harvest commenced early September under a bright sunshine. The combination of all those climatic factors has engendered a significant drop of the yields but quality is there. Meticulous vinifications have produced wines with very pure aromas and a very fresh structure. Ageing in oak casks during 15 months.

Tasting : Dark ruby colour. Fragrances of violet mixed with intense aromas of black berries mixed with plum and earth on a hint of vanilla. Well-balanced and complex. Deep, mouth coating with a silky texture. Well-integrated oak note and moderately firm tannins. Long aftertaste.
