Santenay Gravières

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 ten days of cold pre-fermentation maceration before aging ten months in 100% used 228-liter barrels, followed by five months of flavor maturation in stainless steel vats before bottling. 

Tasting Notes

Les Gravières shows the typicity of Santenay with red fruit and floral notes and elegance on the palate.

Food Pairing

This wine pairs well with simmered dishes such as veal and braised beef, as well as caramelized poultry and homemade hamburgers.
