Maison Chanzy Bouzeron Clos de la Fortune

Bouzeron Clos de la Fortune Bottle

Wine Description

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.

With full control of production from vineyard to bottling, Chanzy’s impressive range spans 40 appellations in 8 villages of Côte Chalonnaise and Côte d’Or. The vineyards are farmed sustainably.

Bouzeron Clos de La Fortune is a two-hectare monopole of Maison Chanzy and is its flagship wine. This Aligoté vineyard is southeast-facing with limestone, clay and marl soils. The average vine age is 35 years with some of the vines almost 100 years old. Vinification is in stainless-steel tanks with 20% of the élevage in 450-liter casks.

Acclaim
“A heady whiff of lemon zest hits the nose as a refreshing top note. The palate of this wine also has a well of zesty freshness and concentration that counteracts the ripeness and generosity of the vintage well. There is liveliness, slenderness and real drive here.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Aug 2020
“Grown-up style with a lovely concentration of stone fruit, mineral and yellow flowers; intense and creamy with a mouthwatering acidity.” (SILVER)
