Chanson : Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru "Les Caradeux" Domaine 2019

An elegant and fruity Premier Cru of Pernand-Vergelesses

The property

Founded in 1750, Chanson is one of the most famous houses in Burgundy. The estate is located in a bastion erected in the early 16th century as a watchtower with 8-meter thick walls, nicknamed "La Tour des Filles" and today dedicated to the maturation of the house's wines. Well known to lovers of great Burgundy wines, the Domaine Chanson offers confidential vintages that brilliantly reveal the expression of the greatest wine-producing villages of the Côte de Beaune.

The vineyard

The Chanson estate covers 45 hectares of vineyards located in the most beautiful appellations of the Côte de Beaune, exclusively in Premiers and Grands Crus (Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Savigny-Les-Beaune, Corton).

The wine

The 2019 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Caradeux 1er Cru from Domaine Chanson comes from a 1.9-hectare plot. It is located at mid-slope near the vines of Corton-Charlemagne, exposed north. The soils are clay-limestone and stony.

The vintage

If 2019 starts with a mild winter, the spring is marked by temperature variations and important rainfall, leading to a lot of millerandage. The scorching summer was punctuated by thunderstorms that saved the vineyard.

Vinification and maturation

A soft pressing precedes a traditional vinification. The wine is aged for 12 to 14 months in the 15th century Bastion with a moderate proportion of new barrels.

The blend

This 2019 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Caradeux ^1er Cru from Domaine Chanson is a 100% chardonnay.
