RATINGS

93Jeb Dunnuck

...vibrant, pure, elegant...offers most red berry fruits (with a touch of black fruits) as well as sappy flower, forest floor, and rose petals on the nose...medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, and elegant, with fine, polished tannins...the purity, balance, and just overall class are top-notch.

90Wine Spectator

Bulging with ripe cherry and red plum flavors...velvety and vibrant, with firm tannins keeping it all focused on the mouthwatering finish.

89-92Burghound.com

Liqueur-like aromas of plum and black cherry are trimmed in wood and a mentholated top note. The suave, round and seductively textured medium weight flavors possess good verve that carries over to the moderately tannins and somewhat finer finale where a hint of bitter cherry pit character slowly emerges.

PRODUCER

Domaine Chanson Pere et Fils

Chanson Pere et Fils was established in Beaune in 1750, making it one of the oldest domaines in Beaune. The original founder, Simon Verry, named the business after himself. A century later, the family sold their business to their young manager, Alexis Chanson. In 1999 the 100-acre estate was sold to Champagne Bollinger and Jean-Pierre Confuron was brought in as winemaker. Chanson Pere et Fils has Grand Cru and Premier Cru parcels, including the Beaune Premier Cru monopole Clos des Feves.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Beaune, Les Marconnets

Les Marconnets is a 14-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Beaune appellation, in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. The vineyard is located at the northern end of the appellation near the top of a slope. Clive Coates has called the wines of Les Marconnets “fullish, plump and rich.” Les Marconnets is one of 44 Premier Crus in Beaune, which has no Grand Crus.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
