90pts James Suckling

A bright and lemony aligote with more fruit than is the norm for this humble grape variety. Lively lemony acidity and a touch of tannin that neatly underlines at the well-structured finish.

Winemaker Notes

Upon tasting, Bouzeron reveals a wine that is delicate and nuanced. It is characterized by fruity notes with a beautiful mineral quality on the palate. Aging on lees gives it body and volume. The Domaine Chanzy Bouzeron wines are bottled at the Domaine before the summer in order to preserve freshness and splendor.
Perfect as an aperitif, Bouzeron is also sublime with seafood, grilled fish, fish with sauce and sushi.

About the Winery

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.
