Mercurey Clos du Roy Rouge
Maison Chanzy was founded by Daniel Chanzy in 1974 in Bouzeron, located in the northern part of the Côte Chalonnaise region of Burgundy. In 2013, a group of Burgundy wine lovers purchased Chanzy with a group of investors and have since added a second holding in Côte Chalonnaise and Côte de Beaune for a total of 163 acres planted.
Wine Production
The wine receives a ten-day cold soak before fermentation and is vinified with 50% whole clusters. Mercurey Clos du Roy 1er Cru Rouge is aged in 100% used 228-liter barrels, followed by five months in stainless-steel vats prior to bottling.
Tasting Notes
Rich and fleshy, with complex aromas and flavors of strawberries, raspberries and cherries, with earthy and herbal undertones and floral notes.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with roast pork and simmered poultry. On the cheese board, this wine matches well with both soft cheeses and mature cheeses.
