DOMAINE CHANZY BOURGOGNE ALIGOTE LES FORTUNES 2023 - white

Style : Rocks & MineralsSaved from bankruptcy in 2012 Domaine Chanzy is an estate with renewed ambition. They have built a reputation for producing wines that capture the essence of the diverse Burgundy holdings they work across the Côte Chalonnaise and the Côte d’Or. Located in Bouzeron and established by Daniel Chanzy in 1974 the vision for the domaine was set to challenge the greatness of the Cote d’Or with investment in some of the best sites in the Cote Chalonnaise and a commitment to sustainable growing and quality, thoughtful winemaking that sought to express their impressive holdings. Now lead by winemaker Jean-Baptiste Jessiaume, a talented winemaker teamed with some serious investment into vineyard and production quality, the only way is upwards from here. The expressive, nuanced grapefruit and tarragon aromas of this charming wine are classic for the Aligoté grape, but the wine offers more than many with its creamy texture and balanced acidity. This was a rich year, but the results do not stray from the classic profile of the grape. The grapes are from the thin limestone soils of the 2.1ha monopole, of which 0.6ha are old vines. Grapes were fermented in equal parts small casks (10% new), large foudres, and stainless-steel tanks. DECANTERRegion : Burgundy, FRANCEVariety : Aligote ABV: 12.5% Liquor Act 2007.
