    There is an abundant green apple fruit, with an edge of lemon peel and mineral. There is plenty of tension and freshness, but the wine is still ripe, broad and well-built. Lovely. Chanson has 1.88ha here, making it the largest landowner. The vines face due east at mid-slope in a stony, silty soil on a very steep slope, making this a very cool terroir. The grapes are pressed as whole clusters without crushing, settled briefly, and fermented in cask (20% new).

    Fresh and fascinating nose of herbs and crisp pears with some reine-claude plum character. An impressive example of this appellation, thanks to the concentration and pronounced, stony character. Very fresh in the 2020 vintage context, with plenty of energy. Excellent integration of minerality and fine tannins at the long finish.

    COMMENTARY: The 2020 Chanson Pere & Fils Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru Les Caradeux delivers a lively and well-balanced presence on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of citrus, apple, and a hint of minerality. Serve it with lightly smoked clams with fresh pasta.(Tasted: February 16, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

    This has a creamy texture permeated with floral, peach, lemon cake, vanilla and clove flavors, which are backed by a vibrant structure that extends the citrus and spice elements on the finish.

Founded in 1750, Chanson is one of the five grand "shippers" of Burgundy's Côte d'Or- an estate steeped in centuries-old tradition and rich in viticultural history. As a négociant (winemaker and merchant) and a domaine (vineyard estate), Chanson has represented the best of Burgundy for more than 250 years, growing its own grapes, partnering with other growers, bottling, selling, and shipping its own wines.

Chanson's holdings comprise some of Burgundy's most coveted vineyards. Located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune (the historical center of Burgundy) and surrounded by some of the greatest vineyards in the world, Chanson can count French philosophe Voltaire, romantic poet Lamartine, and the Bonaparte family among its clients.

Its celebrated bastion, a 15th-century fortress first rented and then acquired in 1794 to cellar the wines, is an internationally celebrated icon of Burgundy (the largest of six bastions that form part of the wall surrounding the city of Beaune).

To visit Chanson is to travel back in time and experience the magic of the 1000-year-old tradition of winemaking. Chanson still vinifies and cellars its wines in the bastion as it has for over 200 years. The 10-meter thick walls of this ancient fortress make it ideal for winemaking.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Occupying the most northerly combe (the French term for a valley that cuts through a hillside) of the Côte de Beaune, Pernand-Vergelles sits to the west of and behind the hill of Corton. The most sought after whites of the village come from the slope of Pernand on the side of Corton where Pernand-Vergelles shares the Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne with Aloxe-Corton. The best red producing Cru is Les Vergelles, which overlaps into Savigny-les-Beaune. Reds here are fleshy, seductive and structured while whites are both lively and age worthy.
