Over time Chanson expanded into owning vineyard plots across Burgundy including Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, combining négociant sourcing with estate fruit. Their Burgundy arm, Chanson Père \u0026amp; Fils, oversees wines from their own parcels and selected climats, emphasizing clarity of terroir, modernization of cellar practices, and consistency across vintages.\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\"\u003eThis wine is produced under Chanson Père \u0026amp; Fils. Their winemaking team is responsible for vineyard decisions, harvesting, sorting, fermentation, and maturation. They favor minimal intervention, careful extraction, and controlled oak aging so as to support fruit and site character. The cellar philosophy often described is “infusion rather than construction,” meaning that structure is built gently rather than forced.\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\"\u003eThe vineyard for Mercurey Rouge lies in the Côte Chalonnaise (the Mercurey appellation), on hillside slopes with southeastern exposures. The soils are typically marl, clay and limestone, with good drainage, favoring Pinot Noir in this region. The climate is continental with warm summers and cool nights, which helps retain acidity and aromatic nuance. Chanson’s Mercurey vines are on mid-slopes benefiting from sunlight and airflow.\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\"\u003eAfter hand or selective picking, grapes are sorted and destemmed (or partly whole cluster). Fermentation is carried out under temperature control in vats or small containers, with moderate cap work for gentle extraction. Malolactic fermentation is completed in barrel or tank. The wine is matured for ~12–18 months in French oak, with a portion of new oak to add structure but not dominate fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBright ruby color.
