Maison Chanzy Bourgogne Rouge

Maison Chanzy is a highly respected Burgundian producer, their wines are a classical demonstration of premium vineyard sites in Côte Chalonnaise, Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.

Their range has been carefully engineered by winemaker Max Blondelle, whose primary task is to create wines that eloquently communicate their respective terroir, whilst remaining hands-off in his approach. As such, Chanzy are one of the few Burgundy producers to achieve Haute Valeur Environnementale level 3; the most highly regarded certification for agriculture in France.

Grapes undergo cold pre-fermentation maceration for ten days with pumping over and punching down under temperature control throughout fermentation. This wine is matured in 228l barrels and stainless-steel vats and then 1 month of ageing in stainless steel vats before bottling.

This wine has an attractive shiny light ruby colour. It is both refined and very frank on the nose and palate. It opens to aromas of red fruits. Its silky tannins support the balance of a wine, such that it can be kept for some time (3 to 5 years) while being very enjoyable in its youth.
