WINEMAKING
![](https://vintus.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Chanson-Vineyard-2-1.jpg )
The wine is for the most part left alone, as the philosophy is one of “infusion rather than construction.” The wine is vinified 100% whole cluster to extract a deeper color and enhance the structure and aromatic complexity. The major condition is that the grapes must be perfect in terms of ripeness and condition. Chanson also strives to maximize the preservation of fresh fruit characteristics, which is why grapes are chilled immediately on arrival in a proprietary tunnel that provides a very quick chill with no oxygen exposure. Then, Champagne-style fractional pressing is practiced to gently extract the purest juice. Aged 17 to 19 months in barrels (30% new oak).
VINTAGE
![](https://vintus.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Chanson-Vendanges-2-1-e1533671705212.jpg )
After a winter characterized by marked variations in temperature and a summer like weather spring, A sudden and intense frost fell upon Burgundy early April and severely hit the buds that had formed on the vine. The months that followed were a succesion of rainy and warm episodes. During summer there were warm and humid periods and the harvest started at Chanson on September 15, under a bright sunshine. The red wines have a good colour. They give off floral fragrances and a beautiful fruit expression but the volumes produced are quite low.
TASTING NOTE

Dark ruby color. Intense aromas of blueberries and elderberries. Well-structured and dense. The tannins are quite present and give an idea of the excellent aging capability of this wine. Long finish.

Reviews
"Floral and red fruit charm"
James Suckling - July 6, 2023 "Very typical floral and red fruit charm for this appellation that's neatly underlined by the touch of toasty oak. Elegant mid-weight wine with good concentration and structure for the difficult 2021 vintage. Long smoky finish that's still a bit firm." S.P. 7/23
