Description
Domaine Chanson has been producing wines in Burgundy since 1750 and is one of the most readily recognizable names from this storied region. Vergennes is a climat within the Corton Grand Cru. Only about 5% of the wines produced in Corton are Chardonnay, the rest being Pinot Noir. This will be a rich, tight and structured wine with the flinty mineral tones for which the region is noted.

Tasting Notes
Creamy yet vibrant, setting the stage for apple, white peach, buttered pastry and mineral flavors. A hint of matchstick overlays chalk and stone notes. Shows fine integration of all the elements on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2019 through 2027. Score - 94. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Feb. 28, 2017)
