Winery - Chanson Père et Fils
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine is in the dry, firm style that is a mark of Nuits-St.-Georges, yet goes beyond that with its concentrated, jammy fruit flavors balanced by dense, dry tannins. It is a good sign of the way Chanson is developing under the control of Bollinger Champagne, and becoming a négociant worth watching.

With its solidly dry tannins, this is a powerhouse, very dark in texture, very structured. The fresh fruit is just showing from all this intensity. Still very youthful, this is an impressive wine for aging over many years.

Modern toasty wood dominates the wine, with concentrated black fruits and big tannins. This needs time to blend the wood and the black fruits, but should be great.

There is plenty of toast and vanilla here, rounding out the acidity. The crisp lemon character and minerality is present, just slightly subdued by the wood.

A wine with just the right Meursault opulence already the dominant character. The wine is fat, ripe, not losing sight of acidity or freshness, combining yellow fruits with a crisp, citrus final streak.

A delicious, mineral structured wine, very pure. The acidity is a great layer going through the textured white fruits, the wood just there as a subtle support.

With green apple aromas, a bright freshness and a light touch of toast, this is already a balanced, delicious wine.

Crisp and incisive, a wine that shows roundness and softness, finished with bright and fresh acidity. A small amount of Pinot Blanc is in the blend, a legacy of plantings in the 1980s.

Rich fruit, layered with acidity, stars in a wine that is dense, very much a product of the powerful 2005 vintage. With the concentrated tannins, this is showing that it needs to age, but already the sweet fruits are opulent and soft.

Lightly toasted new wood dominates the nose of this rich, complex wine. It tastes toasty, too, but also has plenty of rich, soft fruit flavors. The tannins are there, though, to add a dimension. What is missing it is the acidity. Imported by Paterno Wines International.
