Domaine Chanson Corton Vergennes Grand Cru 2013/2014 (6 x 75cl)

Domaine Chanson Corton Vergennes Grand Cru 2013/2014

Details of production:

Chanson and the Hospices de Beaune are the major operators of this very small single vineyard located on a hump of the hill of Corton comprised of clay and limestone soils covered with stones. The vineyard used to belong to the Count of Vergennes, who was counsellor to Louis XVI and signatory for the Treaty of Independence with the United States of America. 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. Meticulous vinifications and aging have enabled us to tame the vibrant acidity of the white wines. Aging in oak during 12 months.

Tasting notes:

Bright gold colour. Aromas of exotic fruit, mixed with toasty notes and honey. Beautiful minerality. Complex, deep and voluminous. Beautiful fruit combination. Harmonious. Well-integrated minerality. Delicate oak-note. Long and generous aftertaste.

How to serve:
