DOMAINE CHANZY Mercurey Blanc 'Les Caraby' 2020 Bottle VGN/VEG (los)

Description

Chanzy is a 80 hectare Estate, divided between Côte Chalonnaise, Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits with their base in Bouzeron. In 2017 Philippe Der Megreditchian purchased this historic Estate and set about a radical overhaul. The vineyards are in conversion to organics and will be certified from 2024 vintage onwards.

One of our favourite sites for whites, Les Caraby is a small 1 hectare ‘clos’ tagged on to the end of Mercurey’s most famous premier cru, Clos du Roy. Almost always the first vineyard picked, this is a fast ripening site with its own little valley and as a result, some north and some south facing vines. The result of this is incredible; honeysuckle, jasmine, fresh pear and ripe flat peaches lead into sweet spices and fantastic balance. Very long and really very special. Still unfiltered at time of tasting. *Limited Availability*

This wine’s spicy, floral or mineral notes make it ideal for pairing with grilled fish or in sauce, cooked seafood, Asian cuisine and hard cheeses. The white Mercurey is also appreciated as an aperitif.
