Beaune Bastion Rouge Premier Cru

The Beaune Bastion Rouge Premier Cru is the Burgundian ensemble wine of Domaine Chanson – one of Beaune's oldest wineries, founded in 1750 and now part of the Bollinger Group. The name refers not to a single vineyard site, but to the historic bastion cellars of the city of Beaune, where the wines mature – a unique 15th-century vaulted cellar that gives the cuvée its name and its soul.

This wine is a carefully composed blend of wines from Beaune's most renowned Premier Cru parcels: Teurons, Bressandes, Clos du Roi, Clos des Marconnets, Champimonts, Clos des Mouches, and the exclusive monopole Clos des Fèves. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it is aged for 17 months in classic Burgundian 228-liter barrels – with care and without over-processing.

In the glass, a bright, deep ruby ​​red. The nose opens with aromas of cooked red fruits, strawberry liqueur, raspberry, and cherry, underpinned by hints of vanilla, spices, and fine earth. On the palate, complex and generous, with a firm texture, well-integrated tannins, and a long, spicy finish.

Served at 16–18 °C with an alcohol content of 14.0–14.5% ABV, with aging potential until 2041. A natural accompaniment to Coq au Vin, game birds, aged Comté cheese, and classic dishes of Bourguignon cuisine – precise, complex, and unmistakably from Beaune.
