Chanzy envisioned C\u00f4te Chalonnaise wines that would rival the greatness of the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or and invested heavily in vineyards there. In 2013, a group of Burgundy wine lovers purchased Chanzy and have since added a second holding in C\u00f4te Chalonnaise and C\u00f4te de Beaune for a total of 163 acres planted. With full control of production from vineyard to bottling, Chanzy\u2019s impressive range spans 40 appellations in 8 villages of C\u00f4te Chalonnaise and C\u00f4te d\u2019Or.\r\nLocation of Vineyard\r\nChanzy is a leading producer in the C\u00f4te Chalonnaise with holdings in Bouzeron, Rully, Givry, and Mercurey. The winery itself is in the village of Bouzeron where it owns 16 hectares, including the monopole Clos de la Fortune which serves as the flagship wine. In the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or, Chanzy owns an impressive collection of crus in some of Burgundy\u2019s iconic appellations such as Puligny-Montrachet and Vosne-Roman\u00e9e. Vineyards are farmed without the use of herbicides and pesticides, instead opting for organic fertilizers and occasional plowing between rows. Chanzy is in the process of obtaining Haute Valeur Environnementale (hve) certification.\r\nWinemaking Philosophy\r\nAll vinification takes place in Bouzeron, where whites go immediately to press and reds are sorted on the table de tri, mostly destemmed before undergoing a cold pre-fermentation maceration for six to eight days. The long, cold maceration allows for less aggressive remontage and pig\u00e9age later in the vinification process. Fermentation occurs with selected yeast or spontaneous via pied-de-cuve, depending on the wine and vintage. \u00c9levage varies for each wine. Wines from the basic appellations settle and ferment in tank while the crus are transferred to barrel for fermentation. Chanzy uses very little new wood and barrels range in size from the traditional 228-liter pi\u00e8ce mostly for our Premiers Crus and 450, 500-liter barrels to 2,500-liter foudre for our Village appellation wines. The wines receive a light fining and filtration before bottling with low amounts of sulfur oxide. |
