In Burgundy, Chanson Père et Fils manages their estate holdings, restoring older vines, modernizing cellar techniques, and blending terroir fidelity with stylistic consistency. Their Côte de Nuits wines—including from Gevrey-Chambertin—reflect this balance of traditional Burgundian craftsmanship and modern precision in each vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eChanson Père \u0026amp; Fils is responsible for this wine. The winemaking team sources grapes from the La Perrière climat, directs harvest decisions, sorting, fermentation (often with significant whole clusters), and then oversees barrel aging. They aim for finesse—measured extraction and oak integration so that the vineyard expression remains central.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eLa Perrière is a Premier Cru climat in Gevrey-Chambertin, located just north of the village, with mid-slope position. The soils are classic Côte de Nuits mix of limestone, clay and gravel, providing drainage and minerality. The microclimate sees warm days and cool nights, allowing slow ripening. Exposure and air circulation reduce disease risk and preserve both aromatics and structure in the berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIn 2018, vinification was notable: Chanson used \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e100 % whole clusters\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e (except in some hail-damaged exceptions).\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Fermentation occurred in small vats under temperature control, with moderate cap work to extract without harshness.
