Domaine Chanson Pernand-Vergelesses Les Vergelesses Premier Cru

A Pinot Noir from the heart of the Côte de Beaune — structured, with dark fruit and the typical mineral character of Pernand-Vergelesses.

Domaine Chanson is one of the oldest négociant houses in the Côte d'Or, founded in Beaune in 1750. The estate cultivates the 5.4-hectare Premier Cru vineyard Les Vergelesses, located at the foot of the Corton hill. The clay and limestone soil gives the wine body and a cool, mineral tension that distinguishes this site from the fuller-bodied appellations further south.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby ​​red color. The nose offers ripe cherry and blackcurrant, underpinned by cassis leaves, a hint of violet, and subtle toasty notes from oak aging. On the palate, firm, well-integrated tannins, medium to full body, crisp acidity, and a lingering finish with a mineral aftertaste.
