Grape Variety : Chardonnay
Soil : Stony soil of Limestone, clay and silica
Site : Chanson is one of the major owners of Clos des Mouches with a
vineyard of 4.5 hectares. A sunny Terroir which benefits from an ideal
location on the hill at the southern end of the vineyards of Beaune on
a spur pointing toward Pommard . A plot of 2 hectares on the upper
side of the hill is planted with Chardonnay on a limestone subsoil
covered with sand.
The Vintage 2021 : After a winter characterized by marked
variations in temperature and a summer like weather spring, a sudden
and intense frost fell upon Burgundy early April and severely hit the
buds that had formed on the vine. The months that followed were a
succesion of rainy and warm episodes. During summer there were
warm and humid periods. The harvest started at Chanson on
September 15, under a bright sunshine. The white wines display floral
fragrances mixed with pale fleshed fruit aromas. They are precise and
tense but the volumes poduced are quite low.
