Maison Chanzy
Mercurey Les Bussières
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
Hand-harvested grapes undergo a seven-day cold soak with gentle pumpovers to provide structure without green tannins. Aged in 2-5 year old French Oak Barriques for 18 months with 12% new wood, not fined or filtered.
Tasting Notes
Fruity and smooth with a beautiful freshness and a lovely tangy structure. It expresses notes of plums, redcurrants, violets, with touches of blackberries and a slightly toasted finish with length.
Food Pairing
Red Burgundy might be the world's most flexible food wine. The wine’s high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, and low tannins make it very food friendly. Red Burgundy, with its earthy and sometimes gamey character, is a classic partner to roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes that feature mushrooms, black truffles, or are rich in umami.
