Maison Chanzy

Olivier Chanzy was born in 1979 to a family of wine producers. He grew up in Burgundy, and after studying Oenology with the greatest French wine experts and traveling around the world, in 2013, he began to reclaim some abandoned vineyards in the Meursault area, one of the most important in the world.

Today, he can say he has succeeded in his endeavor, thanks to his great determination. Currently, Chanzy primarily vinifies Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, transferring the authentic spirit of the terroir (or rather, the climat, as they say in Burgundy) into every bottle.

Maison Chanzy

Maison Chanzy employs low-temperature vinification techniques, followed by aging in stainless steel or French oak barrels, avoiding filtration. In every bottle, Olivier Chanzy imprints his style, which, from the fragrance of the olfactory notes, aims to enhance finesse, power, and elegance—unique traits of the Burgundy terroir.

With just 7 hectares of vineyards, he offers around fifteen labels: more than half are located in the Côte Chalonnaise, particularly Bouzeron and Crémant de Bourgogne, the cradle of his childhood.

Burgundy

The pedoclimatic conditions of Burgundy, combined with the special savoir-faire of the vigneron, due to centuries of high-quality agronomic practices, result in a unique terroir. The care and specificity extend in this region to the definition of "climat," recognized by UNESCO. More selective than terroir, it refers to a single vineyard with specific characteristics of soil, climate, exposure, and cultivation methods.

The vineyards of Burgundy stretch for about 250 km from Chablis in the north to the Mâconnais, bordering the Rhône Valley, in the south.

The climate of Burgundy is predominantly continental, with slight maritime influences in the western area and Mediterranean influences in the southernmost part. Winters are cold, with fairly frequent frosts, sometimes even in spring; rainfall is minimal during the vine's budding period but intense between May and June, which can compromise flowering and thus the harvest.

The soil of Burgundy is formed from marine sedimentations mixed with limestone, marl, and clay, with limestone prevailing in the Côte d'Or, from Dijon to Chagny.

Côte Chalonnaise

Burgundy stretches south and almost touches the Rhône. In this territory lies the Côte Chalonnaise, an area 35 km long and 7 km wide that extends south of the Côte d'Or (from south of Chagny to Sercy, passing through Chalon-sur-Saône). It has a generally warmer climate compared to other regions of Burgundy.

It is a less prestigious subzone but has several Premier Crus and is worth keeping an eye on. The best Chardonnays grow on clay-limestone soils with east and southeast exposure. The best Pinot Noirs are planted on more calcareous soils.

Here, a unique productive island is the AOC Bouzeron because it does not utilize Chardonnay—as in the rest of the territory—but the less aristocratic Aligoté, which here expresses unique freshness qualities.
