The Story

Along with Drouhin, Domaine Chanson is one of the major owners of Clos des Mouches, one of the Beaune's most highly respected premier cru vineyards (of which there are 44). The literal translation of mouche is a fly, but in fact the local usage means honey bees. It is a sunny terroir which benefits from its ideal location on the hill at the southern end of the vineyards of Beaune, rising up toward Pommard. Domaine Chanson's portion of the vineyard is around 4.5 hectares. A plot of 2.5 hectares is planted with Pinot Noir on a limestone subsoil covered with clay. A touch of sand in the soil contributes to the graceful character of the reds in this cru.

Written Notes

Medium intense tawny colour. Pronounced ripe red fruit nose with earthiness and farmyard tones. Medium-bodied palate is intense for first 15 minutes – firm structure, broad texture with rustic style. The fruit refers more of cooked vegetables than red fruits. Regrettably one-dimensional with moderate length. Loosing its character after being over half an hour in the glass. Drink up!
