2018 Domaine Chanson Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Caradeux
$ 110.00 AUD
Domaine Chanson is one of the great historic producers in Burgundy. Founded in 1750, they are one of only six producers in the region still remaining from the 18th century and earlier, purchased by Family Champagne Group Societé Jacques Bollinger in 1999 and has been dramatically restored to be one of Burgundy’s top estates.Requiring diligent viticulture and perfect ripeness, they vinify all whites and reds 100% whole cluster at their state of the art facility on the outskirts of Beaune. They use Champagne-style fractional pressing to gently extract the juice, and then age wines in barrel, with no more than 30% new oak for the reds and 20% new oak for the whites.

About the wine
Tasting notes
Quite literally Grand Cru Chardonnay for a fraction of the price. Expect all the power, elegance and minerality of a Corton Charlemagne...but uniquely different. Ready to drink now.

Expert review
A beautiful and powerful Chardonnay that packs a punch with intense fruit, buttery richness, taut with acidity and full of minerality. It's a typical Burgundian white that straddles energy with richness. Grand Cru quality that is made for pleasure.
Chardonnay
One of the most planted, versatile and popular white varieties in the world. As a stand alone grape, Chardonnay is not the most interesting, nor complex varietal out there...but in the hands of a great winemaker it can be turned into one of the world's greatest pleasures! From the best bubbles of Champagne, to the lean, unoaked and mineral expressions of Chablis and the opulent, oaked and complex whites of Burgundy, Chardonnay is responsible for making some of the greatest expressions of white wine on the planet.
