White Burgundy has a reputation for being unapproachable and unattainable. This white is neither! Sourced from the twin villages of Viré & Clessé in the southern end of Burgundy, this wonderfully vibrant and generous wine comes from soils famously littered with fossilised oyster shells. There's a beautiful minerally freshness here as a result (can you taste oysters?), but also a layer of white peach fruit, with hints of orange blossom and tropical fruit thanks to a dollop of the rare local Chardonnay Muscaté grape in the blend.

Founded in 1750, Chanson is an estate steeped in centuries-old tradition and rich in viticultural history. As a négociant (winemaker and merchant) and a domaine (vineyard estate), Chanson has represented the best of Burgundy for more than 270 years, growing its own grapes, partnering with other growers, and bottling, selling, and shipping its own wines. Chanson's holdings comprise some of Burgundy's most coveted vineyards. Located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the historical centre of Burgundy, it is surrounded by some of the greatest vineyards in the world. Its celebrated bastion, a 15th-century fortress acquired in 1794 to cellar the wines, is an internationally celebrated icon of Burgundy and the largest of six bastions that form part of the wall surrounding the city of Beaune. To visit Chanson is to travel back in time and experience the magic of a 1000-year-old winemaking tradition. Chanson still vinifies and cellars its wines in the bastion as it has for over 200 years, as the ten-metre thick walls of this ancient fortress make it ideal for winemaking.
