Domaine Chanson Beaune Clos des Fèves Monopole Premier Cru

The Clos des Fèves is one of the most famous single vineyards in the Côte de Beaune — and one of the rare monopoles of Burgundy: 4.5 hectares exclusively in the hands of Domaine Chanson. The Domaine is one of the oldest négociant houses in the Côte d'Or, founded in 1750, and since 2000 in the hands of the Bollinger Champagne group. From this combination of historical site and experienced cellar team, a Premier Cru is created that shows Beaune in its classic form.

In the glass, a medium-deep ruby develops with violet reflections. On the nose, sour cherry, raspberry, and a hint of violet, underscored by subtle oak and a light touch of white pepper. On the palate, medium body, fine-grained tannins, and a lively acidity that gives the wine structure and freshness. The finish is long, spicy, with a persistent line of fruit.

With air or after brief decanting, it shows itself at its most open. Serving temperature: 16–17 °C. With food, it pairs with Coq au Vin, veal medallions with mushrooms, or a mature Époisses.
