Chanson Père et Fils

Chanson Père et Fils Winery is one of the oldest ‘houses’ of Beaune and one of the larger owners of Beaune premier cru vineyards. The modern day house of Chanson was established as Maison Verry by Simon Verry in 1750 and was acquired by Chanson in 1794. Today Chanson Pere et Fils Vineyards is owned by Champagne Bollinger and continues to produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines exclusively. More than 25% of Chanson Pere et Fils wines are produced from its own fruit requirements. The other grapes are sourced from growers selected in accordance with the commitment to quality set forth by Maison Chanson. Moreover, all of the 110 estate acres planted by Chanson are either premier or grand cru vineyards, meaning the wines are of very high quality according to our Chanson Pere et Fils reviews. They are also one of the larger négociants in Beaune allowing them to offer many wines on the value end of the spectrum as well.

Sort By:

points

Chanson Père et Fils 2005 Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)

Cellar Selection

Price $225

Dark in color, this is a rich, opulent, almost showy wine. The fruit is ripe, a combination of the sweetest strawberries with black cherries, laced with rich acidity. Then the tannins power in, a dry core of structure and density. Impressive and long-lasting, don’t touch this wine for another six years at least. — R.V. (12/31/2008)

points

Chanson Père et Fils 2007 Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)

A big, rounded wine, its acidity a foil to the ripe fruit and dusty texture. The structure is chunky and corpulent, the fruit strawberry and red plum fruit packed tightly. It is still integrating, definitely promising some long-term aging. — R.V. (12/31/2010)

points

Chanson Père et Fils 2007 Pinot Noir (Chambertin Clos de Bèze)

Cellar Selection

With its solidly dry tannins, this is a powerhouse, very dark in texture, very structured. The fresh fruit is just showing from all this intensity. Still very youthful, this is an impressive wine for aging over many years. — R.V. (12/31/2010)

points

Chanson Père et Fils 2007 Domaine Héritiers Paul Chanson Pinot Noir (Corton Vergennes)

Online Exclusive

Rounded and fat, with the weight and power of white wines from Corton. The texture is taut, still very young, waiting to allow the full richness of the fruit to come through. Impressive, it needs a minimum of four years aging. — R.V. (12/31/2010)

points

Chanson Père et Fils 2006 Chardonnay (Corton Vergennes)

Price $235

This is from a sub-division of the Corton vineyard, at the northern end of the Grand Cru. It shows both depth of flavor and freshness, a ripe wine that brings in delicious, appetizing acidity and spicy toast. It will obviously age, the nuts and secondary flavors still waiting to show, but as a fruitier style it will be ready in a year. — R.V. (5/1/2009)

points

Chanson Père et Fils 2005 Chardonnay (Corton Vergennes)

Price $235

The high toast aromas, typical of Chanson wines, can be off-putting. But get beyond the wood, which needs a couple more years to integrate, and the ripe fruit of 2005 gives this wine density and character. The yellow fruits, ripe cantaloupe melon flavor and sweet acidity will more than hold their own against the wood. — R.V. (5/1/2009)

points

Chanson Père et Fils 2007 Les Folatières Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $115

A beautifully ripe wine, full of spice and mineral, the yellow fruits rich over the acidity and light toasty element. The weight is the thing here, intense great swathes of fruit. — R.V. (11/1/2010)

points

Chanson Père et Fils 2008 Corton Vergennes Chardonnay (Corton Vergennes)

Cellar Selection

Price $150

A rich and opulent wine from the neighbor of Corton-Charlemagne. Its weight and balancing texture give the wine considerable power and density of fruit, toast and a structure for aging. — R.V. (9/1/2011)
