Vintage report
In 2024, a mild winter and a contrasting spring favored early bud break, despite a few episodes of frost. Spring and summer, marked by thunderstorms, heavy rains, and reduced sunshine, maintained high sanitary pressure. Despite these uncertainties, the vines were able to adapt and produce grapes that were sometimes uneven in ripeness but generally balanced. At Domaine Chanson, the harvest began on Wednesday, September 11 and ended on Saturday, September 21. It was a demanding and contrasting vintage, marked by significant climatic hazards, which required a great deal of work and skill on the part of the technical teams
Tasting
Pale gold. Floral fragrances with aromas of lemons and yellow-fleshed fruits. Beautiful oaky notes. Lively, powerful and complex, with well-integrated oak and a fresh finish.
Wine & food pairings
Foie gras, seafood (lobster, crayfish), pan-fried scallops, Bresse poultry, grilled fish or fish in sauce, regional cheeses (Citeaux, Epoisses, vieux Comté).

Vintage report
After a mild winter, beginning of spring was marked by unstable weather conditions, which fortunately enough settled down end May with warm and even very warm temperatures. This situation encouraged a rapid blossoming in excellent conditions. Spring ended with a water deficit which was never compensated. July and August were marked by a succession of very warm temperatures and storms. End of August, a very hot weather settled down with temperatures around 35°C which enabled the grapes to perfect their ripeness. At Chanson, the harvest started on September 5 and ended on September 16. The white wines are very expressive with beautiful aromas of pale fleshed fruit and an outstanding structure.
