Founded in 1750, Chanson today is one of only six producers in Burgundy still remaining from the 18th century and earlier. Domaine Chanson’s extensive holdings, and the extraordinary rigor and precision of its approach in the vineyards and cellars, result in wines of individuality and quality. The winery is led by two of the most respected names in Burgundy: Winemaker Jean-Pierre Confuron (named “2015 winemaker of the Year” by La Revue des Vins de France) and Managing Director Vincent Avenel (formerly of Domaine Faiveley). Chanson owns 111 acres in Burgundy, 62 of which are in Beaune, including their monopole Clos des Fèves, and important holdings of Clos des Mouches and Corton Vergennes. They farm organically and harvest all grapes and vinify all wines, both for their estate holdings and contracted vineyards. Requiring diligent viticulture and perfect ripeness, they vinify all whites and reds 100% whole cluster at their state-of-the-art facility on the outskirts of Beaune. Aging takes place in the Bastion they own, one of the 5 massive towers from the 15th century fortifications that encircle the heart of medieval Beaune. Once you have the opportunity to taste through their range, you will see the purity and complexity of their wines, ranging from their regional and village wines to their greatest Grand Cru holdings.
