Bastion Beaune Chardonnay
1er Cru
2019

Grape Variety : Chardonnay

Soil : Chalk, marl and limestone.

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 located on the hill of Beaune.

The Vintage 2019 : After a mild winter, spring settled down with important variations of temperatures and abundant rain which engendered millerandage (small berries). Summer was warm punctuated by several heat waves and a few thunderstorms épisodes which brought some water. The harvest started mid september under a bright sunshine. After a mild pressing, the wines are aged in oak casks for a period of 12 up to 14 months in our XVth century cellar. Moderate use of new oak.

Tasting : Pale gold colour. Floral fragrances mixed with pale flesh fruit aromas, toasted bread and spicy notes Elegant and complex. Very pure fruit expression. Long finish.

Food pairing : Seafood, fish, white meat and some goat cheeses.
