Domaine Chanson Beaune Greves 1er Cru Rouge 2021

Description

Product Description Domaine Chanson’s Beaune Greves 1er Cru Rouge 2021 hails from one of the most respected vineyard sites in Beaune, located on the slopes of Mont Battois. This 2-hectare vineyard produces wines known for their bright fruit, elegance, and structure. The 2021 vintage was marked by a challenging start with frost and weather variability, yet the resulting wines offer a stunning expression of Beaune’s terroir. The grapes, primarily Pinot Noir, are handpicked and fermented with great care to preserve their purity and freshness. The wine is aged in French oak, allowing for subtle oak integration that enhances the already impressive balance of fruit and structure. This Beaune Greves presents beautiful red berry aromas and a silky texture, with a long and fruity finish. This wine pairs excellently with dishes like veal fondant with chanterelles or caramelised pig’s trotters with forgotten vegetables, enhancing the richness and complexity of these flavours.
