The name Chanson carries 250 years of history, reinforced by its location in the heart of the old town of Beaune and the imposing 16th century “Bastion” (the ancient tower, part of the old ramparts) where the wines mature in casks. Chanson’s winemaker, Jean-Pierre Confuron, is part of a new generation of young superstar winemakers emerging in Burgundy. Confuron aims to express the purity of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes grown in the varied terroirs of Burgundy.
Great to see Chanson return to FWR this year. Definitely a great way to spend a hump-day lunch hour.
