Chanson owns a vineyard of 5.4 hectares in Premier Cru "Les Vergelesses." The plot is located in a hollow at the bottom of the hill of Corton and its clay and limestone sol combination gives wines a very specific structure.
In the nose, this is unlike any other red Burgundy I can remember, due to the olive-tapenade aroma that accompanies the deep blackberry fruit. Some smoke and a hint of fire-embers, too. A dense and quite robust wine for this appellation and it will need some time to integrate the firm structure. But impressive concentration. Almost monumental at the finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

An intense style, evoking black cherry, blackberry, spice and earth flavors that quickly become entangled with the dense, dusty tannins. As a result, the finish is pinched for now. Best from 2024 through 2036.
