Beaune 1er Cru Bastion 2017, Domaine Chanson

Chanson's own vineyard, and one of the reasons I keep going back to them. 2017 was a kind year in Beaune.

Site The Premiers Crus vineyards of Domaine Chanson are aged in casks in the Bastion cellars.This cuvée is a blend of grapes sourced from selected plots among the Premiers Crus of the Domaine - Beaune Clos du Roi, Beaune Clos des Marconnets, Beaune Bressandes, Beaune Teurons, Beaune Champimonts, Beaune Clos des Mouches and Beaune Clos des Fèves Monopole. This association of the different terroirs of Beaune Premiers Crus and among them the flagships of Chanson give to the wine a unique character and texture.

Tasting Bright ruby col our. Aromas of ripe black berries and plum jam mixed with spices on a hint of vanilla. Complex and well-balanced. Very pure fruit. Tight, dense with a velvety texture.Well-integrated tannins.Long and fruity finish.

Food pairing Red meat grilled or en sauce and all sorts of cheeses, especially our local cheeses like Epoisses, Citeaux and Langres.
