Domaine Chanson Premier Cru Red Burgundy Tandem

In a Burgundy market where value is increasingly elusive, Domaine Chanson delivers two 2023 Premier Cru reds that collectors are calling Grand Cru in disguise. Founded in 1750 and farming organically across 111 acres of elite vineyards, Chanson is a Côte de Beaune specialist with unmatched holdings. Their Clos des Mouches Rouge ($145) offers black cherry, forest floor, and vintage leather wrapped in structured tannins and mineral finesse—rivaling Corton-Bressandes at a fraction of the price. Meanwhile, Clos du Roi Rouge ($89), from a vineyard once owned by Burgundy’s dukes, delivers elegant red fruit, spice, and aging potential that regularly draws Grand Cru comparisons. These are not just smart buys—they’re cellar-worthy benchmarks of Premier Cru precision and pedigree.
