TERRITORY OF ORIGIN:

TERROR

We are in one of the most suitable areas in the world : Burgundy.

A unique and evocative territory, capable of producing extraordinary wines. The soil and climate conditions of Burgundy, combined with the special savoir-faire of the vignerons, due to centuries of quality agronomic practices, determine a unique terroir. The care and specificities in this region lead to the definition of climat, protected by UNESCO.

The Burgundy vineyards stretch for approximately 250 km between Chablis to the north and Mâconnais to the south, bordering the Rhône valley. The climate is predominantly continental, with light maritime influences in the western area up to Dijon and Mediterranean in the southernmost area. Winters are cold, frosts are quite frequent, sometimes even in spring; rainfall is minimal during the budding period but intense between May and June, and this can compromise flowering and therefore the harvest. The soil of Burgundy is made up of marine sedimentations mixed with limestone, marl and clay. The territory is divided into these large sub-regions: the Auxerrois, the Chablis to the north in the Yonne, then the Côte-d'Or, the Chalonnais and the Mâconnais and the Beaujolais. In Chablis and Auxerrois, calcareous-marly soils prevail, in the Côte d'Or the soil richer in limestone allows Pinot Noir to express all its class, while in the southern area clay and marl give great elegance to Chardonnay. In Chalonnais and Chalonnais limestone, marl and clay reign, while in Beaujolais the soil is calcareous, shale and clay.

CELLAR

Olivier Chanzy was born in 1979 into a family of wine producers; he grew up in Burgundy and after having studied Oenology with the greatest French wine experts and having traveled all over the world, in 2013 he began to recover some abandoned, very damaged vineyards in the Meursault territory, one of the most important in the world.
Today he can say that he succeeded in the undertaking, thanks to great determination : Chanzy currently produces mainly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and transfers the authentic spirit of the terroir (or rather of the climat, as they say in Burgundy) into each bottle. To achieve this result, it uses low temperature winemaking techniques , followed by refinement in stainless steel or French oak barrels, from 12 to 18 months, avoiding mechanical interventions such as filtration.

With just 7 hectares of vineyards , it offers around fifteen appellations, more than half of which are found in the Côte Chalonnaise, in particular the Bouzeron and Crémant de Bourgogne appellations, the cradle of its childhood.

In every bottle, Olivier Chanzy imprints his style , which, starting from the fragrance of the olfactory scents, aims to enhance finesse, power and elegance, unique traits of the Burgundy terroir.
