Chanson Beaune 1er Cru Greves 2021 750ml

Domaine Chanson, founded in 1750, is one of Beaune's oldest wine houses and has been part of the Bollinger family group since 1999. Grèves is among the most highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards in Beaune, its gravelly soils, which give the site its name, lending Pinot Noir both perfume and structure. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was difficult, with spring frost sharply cutting yields, but the resulting wines are fresh, elegant and transparent, in a more classical style than the warm years around them. Expect red cherry, raspberry and floral notes with fine tannins and bright acidity. Approachable now with some air, it should drink well over the next decade.
