Domaine Chanzy – Rully \’En Rosey\’ Rouge 2023 (750ml)

Maison Chanzy was founded by Daniel Chanzy in 1974 in Bouzeron, located in the northern part of the Cte 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 Cte Chalonnaise and Cte de Beaune for a total of 163 acres planted.

With full control of production from vineyard to bottling, Chanzys impressive range spans 40 appellations in 8 villages of Cte Chalonnaise and Cte dOr. The vineyards are farmed sustainably.

Rully Rouge En Rosey is the highest-elevation vineyard of Rully vineyard and is a cooler site resulting in a wine for freshness and tension. The name refers to a thorny wild rose bush. This southeast-facing vineyard of limestone and marl soil has an average vine age of 40 years. Rully Rouge En Rosey is aged in large oak barrels of 450 and 500 liters for ten months before bottling.

This parcel as a whole is called Rosey but in the 18th century a small parcel called \”Sept Ranches\” appeared in the southwest corner near Plantenay. Ranche is a form for the word \”ronce \” from the Latin RUMEX which means \”small sorrel, a species of stinger plant\”. Other variants such as \”ronche\”, \”ronde\” and \”ronze\” appear in the place-name history of Burgundy.

Food and Wine pairing

We prefer to combine this wine with poultry, roasted or in a sauce, or with offal such as liver. It also works with risottos and pasta with meat and poultry, which will round off their smoothness from the slightly firm tannins of a young Rully.
