Tasting notes
From a monopole vineyard, the 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Fèves is a structured, moderately tannic effort that’s going to benefit from cellaring. Flowers, black cherries, violets, and smoked earth all emerge from this medium-bodied 2015 that has a ripe, layered, beautifully pure profile. The tannins come out more on the palate, but they’re covered by plenty of sweet 2015 fruit at present. Give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy over the following decade. Like all the Pinots Noirs from Chanson, this cuvée wasn’t destemmed and spent 17 months in barrel.

Mid to deep crimson. Fabulous aroma. The dark-red fruit is ripe and pure, expressive but not overblown. Fruity but also has some savoury dark spice and a mineral touch. Chewy and still succulent on the palate. Deep and dry and long, with excellent freshness all tied up in the tannin structure. (JH)
