Domaine Chanson Beaune Clos des Marconnets Premier Cru

A classic Burgundy wine from the northern part of the Beaune appellation — structured, aromatically complex, and with the typical signature of a grand premier cru.

Domaine Chanson is one of the oldest wineries in the Côte de Beaune, founded in 1750. The Clos des Marconnets — named after the Germanic tribe of the Marcomanni — lies in the northern tip of the appellation, where the soils are richer in clay and the wines turn out more full-bodied than in the central sites. Chanson manages four hectares of the Clos, around 40% of the total area.

In the glass, luminous ruby red. On the nose, peony and violet, underneath stewed cherry and blackberry, a hint of vanilla and clove. On the palate, medium to powerful body, fine acidity, elegant tannins without hard edges — the texture is dense but not heavy. The finish lingers with fruity and spicy notes.
