Domaine Chanzy Maranges Premier Cru La Fussiere Single Bottle

Country: France  Region: Burgundy  Varietal: Pinot Noir

Vintage: 2022 Category: Burgundy  Colour: Red

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.

This wine boasts a brilliant colour - raspberry red, or sometimes darker and tending towards purple. Its fruit-laden bouquet is of blackcurrant buds, and spiced or preserved red fruits. The mouth, fresh, and tinged with liquorice, lays down a meaty foundation for peppery flavours. These wines have just enough acidity to ensure 3 or 4 years’ laying-down (more in the best years). Tannins are smooth, warm and melting, and vinosity is intense.

“This is a wine for Burgundy freaks,” so said James Suckling and we wholeheartedly agree.

Tasting Note

Beautiful dark red colour, with purple reflections. The bouquet is very expressive with notes of sour cherry, liquorice and chalky notes. It is a wine with finesse and a very long finish.
