The Premiers Crus vineyards of Domaine Chanson are aged in casks in the Bastion cellars. This cuvée is a blend of grapes sourced from selected (young vine) plots among the Premiers Crus of the Domaine - Beaune Clos du Roi, Beaune Clos des Marconnets, Beaune Bressandes, Beaune Teurons, Beaune Champimonts, Beaune Clos des Mouches and Beaune Clos des Fèves Monopole, all of which have a mix of clay and limestone soils. This association of the different terroirs of Beaune Premiers Crus, and among them the flagships of Chanson, give the wine a unique character and texture. Beaune Bastion 1er cru is aged in French oak for 18 months. After a cold Winter and a mild spring, the weather conditions in summer were ideal with cold nights and warm days and enabled a perfect maturation of the grapes. The harvest started early September under a bright sunshine. The red wines develop beautiful aromas of ripe red and black berries with a fleshy texture. Ageing in oak casks for 16 months.

Freat with red meat, grilled or with a sauce. Cheese selections, particularly local cheeses like Epoisses, Citeaux and Langres
