Maison Chanzy

Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Fortunés

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

Bourgogne Chardonnay is fermented and then aged in used 350-liter barrels for ten months, followed by five months of aging in stainless steel vats before bottling.

Tasting Notes

White Burgundy is typified by aromas and flavors of green apple and lemon and is defined by its structure and expression of minerality. This wine is a synthesis of finesse and freshness that is enhanced by the fruitiness that Chardonnay can bring. 

Food Pairing

Pair with fish in white sauces, warm shellfish, hard cheese, or on it's own as an aperitif.
