90-92 pts Jasper Morris
Mid ruby with a lighter rim. More in the cherry aromatic profile to start, supple across the palate, then a firmer structure behind with both tannins and acidity. The fruit comes swarming back behind, doing what one hopes from a Grves. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Oct 2024.

Vineyard
On the slopes of Mont Battois, facing Beaune, the name “Grves” comes from the sandy and gravelly soil. Separated from Clos des Fves by a narrow path, this Chanson vineyard covers 2 hectares.

Note From Tom: I tasted a few of their wines at a La Paulee event and they caught my attention standing out in a crowded field as well made classically styled wines. Based in the village of Beaune, this is a negociant domaine which meansthey purchase fruit from other growers to make their wines.Now, they also have PLENTY of their own vineyards theymake wine from as well, particularly the not often seen monopole 1er vineyardFeves (astand out in my tasting).

PRE-ARRIVAL:All Wines Arrive August/September 2025!

Fast forward a couple weeks, a representative from Domaine Chanson conducted a tasting of their winesin our back yard in Raleigh. These are some ofthe first 2023s I have tasted, and I liked most of what Itried. The overall assessment was this was a very good vintage, a warm year like 2022 that produced balanced wines that retained freshness with very good acidities, with minerality and terroir authenticto site and appellation!

The town of Beaune has 3 grand hills of vineyards, each one topped with one of these 3 vineyards: Greves 1er, Clos des Mouches 1er, and Clos des Feves 1er – we have 4 wines from these vineyards
