Domaine Chanzy Mercurey Le Bois Cassien Rouge

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.

At 390m, ‘Les Bois Cassien’ is the highest altitude vineyard in Mercurey and as a result produces bright and fresh Pinots & Chardonnays. This wine is a much fresher take on the 2020 vintage. The inclusion of 40% whole bunch has resulted in a crunchy, aromatic pinot. Layers of redcurrant and cranberry intertwined with some darker mulberry fruit and well integrated oak.
