Domaine Chanson Beaune Clos des Fèves Monopole Premier Cru

The Clos des Fèves is one of the few true monopoly sites in Beaune: 3.8 hectares, entirely in the hands of Domaine Chanson, in the middle of the Premier Cru sites of the Côte de Beaune. A site with history – first documented as early as 1307 under the Latin name "Fae".

Domaine Chanson is one of the oldest négociant houses of the Côte d'Or (founded 1750) and is based in the historic fortifications of Beaune. The domaine farms around 45 hectares, with a special focus on Premier and Grand Cru plots in Beaune and Pommard.

In the glass, this Pinot Noir shows a clear ruby color with violet reflections. On the nose, sour cherry and raspberry, plus a hint of white pepper and fine cedar wood from barrel aging. On the palate, medium body, silky tannins, and a lively acidity structure – typical for Beaune Premier Cru. The finish is long, spicy, with a mineral note.

Serving recommendation: Serving temperature 16–17 °C. Pairs with duck breast with cherry sauce, Coq au Vin, or mature Époisses.
