Corton Vergènnes Grand Cru

A Grand Cru from the Côte de Beaune that combines history and minerality in one glass: the Corton Vergènnes comes from one of the smallest parcels of the Corton hill, divided between Domaine Chanson and the Hospices de Beaune.

Domaine Chanson is one of the oldest négociant houses in Burgundy and has been managing its sites in Beaune since the 18th century. The vineyard bears the name of Charles Gravier, Count of Vergennes — a diplomat from Dijon who, as Foreign Minister to Louis XVI, signed the alliance treaty with the USA, making France the first country to officially recognize the United States. Small parcel, big history.

In the glass, the wine glows in rich gold. The nose shows citrus peel, green almond, and a fine floral note, underpinned by clear minerality. On the palate, it convinces with a taut, deep texture and precise acidity structure — tense but well integrated. The finish is long, with a salty aftertaste that makes the origin from the Corton limestone clearly perceptible.

Serving temperature: 12–13 °C.
Pairs well with turbot with beurre blanc, lobster, sweetbreads, or mature Comté.

Domaine Chanson

Domaine Chanson, founded in 1750, is one of the oldest and most renowned wineries in the Burgundy region. It is one of the few wineries that has remained in existence since the 18th century.

Since 1999, it has been part of the Bollinger Group, which has carried out extensive restorations and modernizations to make the winery one of the best in Burgundy. Amidst the picturesque hills stretch the 45 hectares of vineyards, which thrive in the most prestigious sites such as Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, and Chablis.

Here, tradition and modernity merge into a unique symbiosis that gives every wine a special touch. The historic bastion, a wine cellar from the 15th century, is the heart of the winery.

In these venerable walls, the wines mature to true perfection under perfect conditions. Every bottle tells a story of dedication and craftsmanship.
