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 color. Very fresh floral fragrances with citrus notes and a hint of mineral and fine woody notes. Precise and well-balanced. Beautiful aromatic purity. Fresh finish.
Wine & food pairings
To be enjoyed with charcuterie and poultry as well as many different cheeses (comté, goat cheeses...)

End of August, a very hot weather settled down with temperatures around 35°C which enabled the grapes to perfect their ripeness.

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.

Soil : CLAY AND LIMESTONE
Plot : 9,6 HA
Exposure : SOUTH-EAST & SOUTH-WEST
Grape : CHARDONNAY
Aging : NC
Terroir
On the hill in the heart of Côte Chalonnaise, the "terroirs" of Rully are perfectly suited for Chardonnay.
Vintage report
After a very mild winter, spring arrived with warm temperatures in March which engendered a very quick and sustained growth of the vines. After a very short frost episode early May with no consequence in the vineyards, a mild weather with some rains settled down until end of June. Summer was punctuated in July by several and quite long heat waves. Vineyards with a clay soil were less affected by the low level of rainfalls during spring and by the summer heat. The harvest in Burgundy started around August 20, which was historically early for the region. At Chanson, they started on August 24 under a bright sunshine. 2020 red wines are generous, concentrated and beautifully terroir-driven.
Tasting
Pale gold colour. Floral fragrances mixed with citrus fruit on a hint of minerality. Well-balanced and precise and tense. Very pure fruit. Long finish.
Wine & food pairings
