January is a great time to reset the palate, not with a cleanse – but with outstanding Burgundy wines that are actually affordable! We had the opportunity to sit down and taste a handful of wines with Food & Wine magazine’s executive wine editor, Ray Isle. He was really impressed with the Domaine Chanson 2015 Marsannay, adding that it offers “bright raspberry notes, a scent of tea leaves and dry herbs, and an excellent balance of intensity and elegance.”

Chanson is a true mid-size Domaine. Unlike many of their competitors, their wines are produced using the grower model rather than the négociant model. They have extensive holdings of over 111 acres of exclusively Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in the heart of Burgundy. Chanson is obsessed with maintaining a consistent quality level across the entire range. The wines have a seductive and distinctive style due to the rigorous approach to viticulture and vinification.
