Maison Chanzy Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Fortunés

Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Fortunés 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.

Bourgogne Chardonnay is from the bottom of the slopes of La Fortune in Bouzeron with a southeastern exposure and from a vineyard located few miles away on higher altitude in Nantoux village (next to Bouzeron). Grown in typical clay and limestone soils with an average vine age of 35 years, Bourgogne Chardonnay is fermented and then aged in used 350-liter barrels for ten months before bottling.

Acclaim
“Pleasing lemon citrus with delicate grassy notes; creamy and lush with a lovely mineral freshness and a firm finish.” (SILVER)
— Decanter World Wine Awards, Sep 2020
“A fat and happy chardonnay from 35-year-old vines in Bouzeron, this is clean and welcoming in its perfumed pear and apple flavors. Cushioned by leesy richness, it made me wonder, why can’t there be more Bourgogne blancs like this?”
