Mercurey Clos du Roy Blanc
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
Vinification starts with slow and gentle pressing and then fermentation in 228 L barrels at controlled temperatures. Mercurey Clos du Roy 1er Cru Blanc is aged in 100% used 228-liter barrels for ten months, followed by five months in stainless steel vats prior to bottling.
Tasting Notes
Spicy, floral, and mineral notes. Dense and ample with a very beautiful structure, a fine and constructive acidity, with a beautiful finish.
Food Pairing
Ideal for pairing with grilled fish, cooked seafood, Asian cuisine and hard cheeses. This white Mercurey is also appreciated as an aperitif.
