Côte de Beaune

A key wine-producing district of Burgundy in the east of France.

The Côte de Beaune area is the southern part of the Côte d'Or, the limestone ridge that is home to the great names of Burgundy wine. The Côte de Beaune starts between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune, and extends southwards for about 25 km to the river Dheune. The trend of producing red wines continues from the Côte de Nuits to the north, down through Beaune, although the wines become lighter and more perfumed. Farther south lie the great names of white Burgundy such as Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Product Details
Details of production; In the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, South of Côte de Beaune, only a small part of the Mercurey vineyards are plantd with Chardonnay as Mercurey is mainly a red wine appellation. Located mid slope, facing East. 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 was quite generous both in volume and quality.
Tasting notes; Pale gold color. Delicate floral fragrances mixed with citrus fruit and pale fleshed fruit on hint of toasty notes. Well-balanced and complex. Dense and tight texture. Delicate oak note. Long and refreshing aftertaste.
