The cherry, raspberry and blackberry fruit leans toward the exotic side in this complex, dense red. Black olive, violet, toasty oak spice and graphite accents add interest and the finish is long and muscular. Built for the long haul. Best from 2020 through 2036.

Jeb Dunnuck
From a monopole vineyard, the 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Fèves is a structured, moderately tannic effort that’s going to benefit from cellaring. Flowers, black cherries, violets, and smoked earth all emerge from this medium-bodied 2015 that has a ripe, layered, beautifully pure profile. The tannins come out more on the palate, but they’re covered by plenty of sweet 2015 fruit at present. Give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy over the following decade. Like all the Pinots Noirs from Chanson, this cuvée wasn’t destemmed and spent 17 months in barrel.

This is a generous wine, although one that will need some serious aging. It is rich in tannins and powered by a firm structure. The fruit offers the weight to counter the tannins. It just needs time. Drink from 2024.

Lovely black cherry and floral notes here. But also shows serious concentration and tannic power, all very well harnessed. Moderate acidity.

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.
