Savigny Les Hauts Marconnets Domaine Chanson

Soil : SAND AND LIMESTONE                  Plot : 2.1 HA

Exposure : EAST                                   Grape : CHARDONNAY

Aging : 15 MONTHS

Terroir : White wines are very unusual in Savigny-les-Beaune, the vineyards producing essentially red wines. The particular nature of the soil "Hauts Marconnets" with Marl, chalk and limestone encouraged Chanson to plant Chardonnay. The vineyard of 2,1 hectares is ideally situated high up on the hill of Savigny-les-Beaune, facing south-east, close to the hills of Beaune 1er Crus.

Tasting : Pale gold color. Delicate floral fragrances mixed with aromas of yellow and pale fleshed fruit (apricot) on a smoky note. Well-balanced and precise. Round and ample. Well integrated oak note. Long and refreshing finish with hints of vanilla

Food pairing : Foie gras, shellfish, grilled seascallops, grilled fish
