Vintage: 2020  Category: Burgundy  Colour: White

Producer: Maison Chanzy

Maison Chanzy is a highly respected Burgundian producer, their wines are a classical demonstration of premium vineyard sites in Côte Chalonnaise, Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.

Their range has been carefully engineered by winemaker Max Blondelle, whose primary task is to create wines that eloquently communicate their respective terroir, whilst remaining hands-off in his approach. As such, Chanzy are one of the few Burgundy producers to achieve Haute Valeur Environnementale level 3; the most highly regarded certification for agriculture in France.

Another very stony vineyard with lots of limestone, Les Cailloux is a 40 year old vineyard of 1 hectare. Sitting at 340m above sea level on a plateau, the stones here are larger and not only provide a great mineral backbone to the wines, but also keep the grapes warm into the evening. The 2020 is excellent, very green, lean and with a hint of the grassy green notes one finds in Riesling or Semillon. Great acidity and structure and should age very nicely. 15 months ageing in 228L barrels.

 

Tasting Note

This is a Chardonnay that starts out life as a very light golden colour flecked with green highlights with aromas of lemon, honey, peach and peach which change as the wine ages to produce aromas of honey, dried fruits and quince

Food Matching

This is a perfect match for Seafood, shellfish (aren't they all says you)
