About this Item

1996 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru La Suchots
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Though modest in size, Domaine Chanson is considered one of the Premiers Crus specialists in Beaune. The domaine owns vineyards in the Premiers and Grands Crus in Côte de Beaune, including Santenay, Chassagne Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet, Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand Vergelesses and Corton. The wines are made by Jean-Pierre Confuron, of Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot in Vosne-Romanée. In 2006, the domaine increased in size to 45 hectares and now owns vines in Chablis, the Mâconnais and the Beaujolais.

The Premier Cru vineyard of Les Suchots is recognised as being the prime candidate for any potential elevation in the appellation of Vosne-Romanée to Grand Cru status. It is located just to the north of the greats, such as "Romanée Saint-Vivant" and "La Romanée Conti". The soil is very similar and there is much in common between the wines.
