Chassagne-Montrachet Domaine Chanson

Chassagne-Montrachet Chanson is a prestigious white wine from Burgundy, France, made mainly from Chardonnay grapes grown in vineyards located around the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. This region is renowned for its limestone and clay soils, which give the wine minerality and complexity. The continental climate, characterized by warm summers and cold winters, allows the grapes to ripen optimally, enhancing the typical aromatic characteristics of Chardonnay. The vineyards are often divided into small plots, each with its own microclimate and soil composition, contributing to the diversity and quality of the wine. The production process for Chassagne-Montrachet Chanson involves manual harvesting of the grapes, followed by soft pressing to extract the must without excessive tearing of the skins. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, which add toasted and vanilla notes to the wine's flavor profile. Aging continues for several months, often between 12 and 18, in barrels, during which time the wine develops further complexity and structure. The result is an elegant and refined wine with aromas of white-fleshed fruit, white flowers, and a distinct minerality, balanced by a pleasant freshness and a long persistence on the palate.
