Situated south of the renowned Corton hill, Domaine Chanson’s 5.3-hectare plot in the prestigious "Les Vergelesses" vineyard produces wines of remarkable complexity and power. The vineyard benefits from a unique terroir, with stony soils at the top and clay-rich soils at the bottom, which impart a rich, mineral-driven profile. The 2020 vintage, marked by a mild winter and a warm, early spring, saw an early bud break and robust vine growth. While May frost caused minor setbacks, the following dry conditions, punctuated by a few heatwaves, allowed the vines to thrive. The reds of 2020 are concentrated and beautifully defined, offering an expressive and generous character that highlights the terroir’s unique qualities, though with slightly reduced volumes due to the frost. The wine showcases great depth, balance, and refined structure. Perfectly paired with grilled rib-eye steak, roasted red meats, game dishes, and regional cheeses such as Brillat-Savarin, Epoisses, Citeaux, and Langres.

Rated 97 Halliday points. "Deep crimson-purple; whereas the '11 had to fight every inch of the way, this wine displays almost contemptuous ease in the way it has marshalled the layers of black fruits and ripe tannins that soak up the new oak inputs. This will be one of the long-lived, great Black Labels." James Halliday Wine Companion, July 2015.

Named after the sundial erected in the vineyard in 1842, Wehlener Sonnenuhr is the most famous vineyard in the Mosel. J.J Prüm owns five hectares of this precious vineyard. Extremely steep with optimal south-south west exposure, it yields fragrantly floral wines with ripe stone fruit aromas, underlying slately minerality and wonderful depth of flavour and structure. The Auslese wines are typically more reticent when young showing vivid crystalline citrus fruit and a backbone of tingling minerally acidity that will carry it gracefully for decades.
