Domaine Chanson Beaune Greves 1er Cru 2011 

Details of production:

Grapes are taken from the Mont Battois hillside, facing Beaune. the name “Grèves” derives from the sandy and gravely soil that dominates the land in this area. Separated from the Clos des Fèves by a narrow path this Chanson vineyard covers 2 hectares. After a very cold winter and a demanding spring, the hot summer was regularly interrupted by rainy intervals. It gave way early september to a bright and warm weather, that speeded up the maturation of the grapes. Harvest began in the last days of September under a bright sunshine. Long and careful macerations have allowed to enhance the fleshy texture and smooth and elegant tannins of the Pinot Noir. Aging in oak during 18 months.

Tasting notes:

Bright ruby colour. Subtle floral Fragrances mixed with aromas of red berries and spices. Subtle vanilla note. Generous with a tight texture. Well-balanced. Expressive tannins on a well integrated oak. Refreshing and fruit aftertaste.

How to serve:

Red meat, grilled or with a sauce. Cheese selections, particularly local cheeses like Epoisses, Citeaux and Langres.
