Savigny-lès-Beaune Blanc Hauts-Marconnets Premier Cru - Domaine Chanson

Chardonnay from Savigny-les-Beaune is rare. Pinot Noir dominates here. The special composition of the Hauts Marconnets soil, with marl, chalk, and limestone, encouraged Chanson to plant Chardonnay. The 2.18-hectare vineyard is ideally situated high on the hillside of Savigny-les-Beaune, facing southeast and close to the hills of Beaune 1er Crus. Pale golden yellow. Delicate floral scents blend with aromas of yellow and light-fleshed fruit (apricot) on a smoky note. Well-balanced and precise. Round and generous. Well-integrated oak notes. Long and refreshing finish with hints of vanilla.
