Domaine Chanzy, Mercurey 1er Cru Clos du Roy Rouge 2017

Maison Chanzy was founded by Daniel Chanzy in 1974 in Bouzeron, located in the northern part of the Côte Chalonnaise region of Burgundy. In 2013, a group of Burgundy wine lovers purchased Chanzy with a group of investors and have since added a second holding in Côte Chalonnaise and Côte de Beaune for a total of 163 acres planted.

Mercurey Clos du Roy 1er Cru Rouge is one of many vineyards in Burgundy carrying the name Clos du Roy thanks to the King designating his best parcels as such. The parcel sits close to the woods and is protected from the wind with excellent exposure, providing consistent ripeness. The wine receives a ten-day cold soak before fermentation and is vinified with 50% whole clusters. Mercurey Clos du Roy 1er Cru Rouge is aged in 100% used 228-liter barrels.

100% Pinot Noir
