Beaune Clos des Marconnets
1er Cru 2022
Grape Variety : Pinot Noir
Soil : Limestone with clay
Site : "Les Marconnets" are located in the Northern hint of the Appelation Beaune 1er Cru. The name of this vineyard referred to the german tribe "Marcomans". Chanson owns 4 ha, i.e, 40% of the vineyard.
The Vintage 2022 : After a winter characterized by marked variations in temperature between January and February, spring started with mild temperatures. A sequence of cold weather in April was followed by warm temperatures in May but the lack of water was very noticeable and could not be compensated by the rainy storms of June. Summer was marked by several and long heat waves and the storms of the end of August were most welcome. The harvest at Chanson started on August 30 with a team of 100 persons and ended on September 13. 2022 vintage was quite generous both in volume and quality and the red wines are generous and well-balanced with an outstanding crunchy fruit.
Tasting : Bright ruby color. Floral fragrances (peony) mixed with strawberry and rasperry jam aromas on a hint of minerality. Well-structured and muscular. Deep and dense texture. Beautiful fruit expression. Well-shaped tannins. Persistent aftertaste with spicy notes. Scores : 92/100 Jasper Morris/Inside Burgundy - 16,5+/20 Jancis Robinson
Food pairing : To be enjoyed with white or red meat, grilled or roasted, games and all sorts of cheeses especially all the cheeses produces in Burgundy (Epoisses, Langres, Citeaux, Ami du Chambertin).
