90-93 pts Jasper Morris
Still in barrel. Mid lemon yellow. There is that custard cream note from the barrel which will be refined later. But it is also the style of this vineyard, with its extra weight and spice. Still a work in progress but heading in the right direction. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Oct 2024.

Vineyard
At the heart of the Clos des Mouches appellation, Chanson is one of the main owners with a 4.3-hectare plot. A sunny terroir that benefits from an ideal location on the east-facing slopes of Mont Saint-Dsir, bordering the Premiers Crus of Pommard. A 2.2-hectare plot located at the top of the hill is planted with Chardonnay.

Note From Tom: I tasted a few of their wines at a La Paulee event and they caught my attention standing out in a crowded field as well made classically styled wines. Based in the village of Beaune, this is a negociant domaine which meansthey purchase fruit from other growers to make their wines.Now, they also have PLENTY of their own vineyards theymake wine from as well, particularly the not often seen monopole 1er vineyardFeves (astand out in my tasting).

PRE-ARRIVAL:All Wines Arrive August/September 2025!

Fast forward a couple weeks, a representative from Domaine Chanson conducted a tasting of their winesin our back yard in Raleigh. These are some ofthe first 2023s I have tasted, and I liked most of what Itried. The overall assessment was this was a very good vintage, a warm year like 2022 that produced balanced wines that retained freshness with very good acidities, with minerality and terroir authenticto site and appellation!

The town of Beaune has 3 grand hills of vineyards, each one topped with one of these 3 vineyards: Greves 1er, Clos des Mouches 1er, and Clos des Feves 1er – we have 4 wines from these vineyards
