A top Burgundy wine producer

Founded in 1750, Domaine Chanson has focused its winery and vineyards on the most modern and innovative technology, positioning itself among the top Burgundy wine producers. The Chanson style is distinguished by its structure, freshness, and minerality, characteristics that aging wines possess. They are one of only six remaining producers in the region dating back to the 18th century and earlier. Chanson was purchased in 1999 and has undergone a drastic restoration to once again become one of Burgundy's top estates. And they have succeeded quite successfully. No fewer than three wines from the range were named "Wine of the Year" in 2017. Chassagne-Montrachet is a pure Chardonnay. The Domaine Chanson vineyard is located next to the famous Montrachet appellation and covers 2 hectares. The vineyard has a unique architecture: small blocks that overlap.

Lovely texture and flavor nuances of peach, apricot, red apple, vanilla, spice, and oak. The finish is long and refreshing, ending with a hint of minerality.
