Côte de Beaune Villages 2022

Grape Variety : Pinot Noir

Soil : Limestone with clay

Site : Selected plots of vineyards in Côte de Beaune villages, mostly Pernand-Vergelesses, Auxey-Duresses and Ladoix.

The Vintage 2022 : After a winter characterized by marked variations in temperature between January and February, spring started with mild temperatures. A sequence of cold weather in April was followed by warm temperatures in May but the lack of water was very noticeable and could not be compensated by the rainy storms of June. Summer was marked by several and long heat waves and the storms of the end of August were most welcome. The harvest at Chanson started on August 30 with a team of 100 persons and ended on September 13. 2022 vintage was quite generous both in volume and quality and the red wines are generous and well-balanced with an outstanding crunchy fruit.

Tasting : Bright ruby colour. Floral fragrances mixed with intense aromas of red berries (strawberry, red-currant) on a hint of spice. Well-balanced and well-structured. Supple and deep texture with well-integrated tannins. Long and spicy finish.

Food pairing : To be enjoyed with warm starters, white meat, matured cheeses.
