Fruit is sourced from 4 contracted growers from mid-slope vineyards bordering the prestigious Premier Crus, including the Lavaux St Jacques Premier Cru vineyard. As with all their grower relationships, Chanson harvests all fruit with their team in order to maximize control over fruit quality and picking times.
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. The reds have a perceptible style as a result: beautiful aromatics with complex spice complementing fruit on the nose and palate. 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. Reds then get a long cold soak and maceration. Then, Champagne-style fractional pressing is practiced to gently extract the purest juice. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel on the fine lees with no batonnage. Oak is used conservatively, with no more than 30% for the reds. Aging took place in oak casks for 14 months.
VINTAGE

After a cold winter and a mild spring, the weather conditions in summer were ideal with cold
nights and warm days that enabled a perfect maturation of the grapes. The harvest started in early-September under a bright sunshine. The red wines have beautiful aromas of ripe red and black berries with a fleshy texture.

Viré -Clessé
Viré -Clessé
Chanson's regional wine, Viré Clessé is one of the best white wines of the region, combining suppleness and minerality. The appellation lies in the heart of the Mâcon appellation in the south of Burgundy. The two villages, Viré and Clessé form a unique terroir on south-east facing slopes. In Viré, the soil is chalky with large layers of clay. In Clessé, the soil structure is slightly different, with a combination of chalk and clay mixed with liasic marls combined with oyster-fossils, giving the wine an underlying minerality. It's produced from a combination of Chardonnay and Chardonnay Muscaté grapes.
