Domaine Chanson Beaune "Clos du Roi" 1er Cru 2022 — red

Taste and character

Beaune 1er Cru Clos du Roi from Domaine Chanson comes from a historic plot of 2.4 hectares, situated just below the famous Marconnets. The south-easterly exposure and the mix of loess, clay and sand give this Pinot Noir a fine balance between ripe fruit, refined structure and subtle minerality – a classic Beaune expression with both elegance and character. In the glass, the Clos du Roi presents itself with a clear ruby colour. The nose opens with floral notes and ripe red berries, especially gooseberries and raspberry, with fine spices and an integrated touch of vanilla. On the palate the wine is powerful and round, with a supple texture and silky tannins – the flavour is gastronomic, well balanced and ends in a long, fruit-driven and lightly spicy finish. Vinification is traditional and meticulous: hand-harvesting in small crates, partial destemming (about 50%) and a cool pre-fermentation maceration of five days. Fermentation takes place in small stainless-steel vats, and pressing is done gently by gravity. The wine matures for eighteen months on its lees in French oak barrels (around 25% new), which adds structure and finesse without overpowering the pure fruit. Serve at 14–16 °C. This Beaune 1er Cru goes superbly with duck magret on a creamy corn purée, with guinea fowl or partridge and with rich, mature cheeses – it also comes into its own with classic French game and poultry dishes.
