Over the centuries, Chanson expanded its holdings and sharpened its technical capacities in vineyard management and cellar practices. The Chanson Père \u0026amp; Fils arm oversees estate bottlings and manages the balance between tradition and innovation, sourcing prime climats while investing in terroir expression. The Clos du Roi site is inherited from historical holdings (once belonging to Burgundy dukes), partly owned by Chanson (≈ 35 %).\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 applies strict sorting, gentle extraction, temperature-controlled fermentations, and long aging. Their philosophy leans toward “infusion over construction”—minimizing manipulation so the climats’ character comes through. For Clos du Roi, they often work with whole clusters, cold soak, and fractional pressing to preserve aromatics and clarity.\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 Clos du Roi climat lies north of Beaune, just above Les Marconnets, with clay, sand, and silt soils. Chanson owns about 2.4 hectares of it, with the parcel oriented southeast, benefiting from morning sun and good drainage. The Burgundy continental climate yields warm summers, cool nights, and vintage variance, which in 2022 included heat and late thunderstorms.\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\"\u003eGrapes are chilled immediately on arrival, cold-soaked, and fermented (often 100 % whole cluster) with moderate maceration. Malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel on fine lees. Aging is ~20 months in French oak casks, with a judicious new oak component, to integrate structure without overpowering fruit.\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 in color.
