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.
Tasting
Pale gold colour. Delicate menthol notes mixed with citrus fruit aromas. Lively attack, a lot of energy. Well-shaped structure and well-crafted acidity. Refreshing aftertaste.
Wine & food pairings
Pâté, fish, charcuterie, and many goat cheeses.

Terroir
The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from across the Burgundy region, more specifically from the sub-regions of Auxerrois, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais. Domaine Chanson also owns 1.7 hectares in the Côte Chalonnaise and Chassagne-Montrachet.
Vintage report
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 white wines are well-balanced, precise and refreshing.
