Chanzy Mercurey Les Caraby Rouge 750 ML

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. With full control of production from vineyard to bottling, Chanzy’s impressive range spans 40 appellations in 8 villages of Côte Chalonnaise and Côte d’Or. The vineyards are farmed sustainably. Mercurey, situated in the heart of the Cote Chalonnaise (12 kilometres from Chalon-sur-Saone) is one the foremost appellations of Burgundy. Protected from moisture-bearing winds, tucked away in its hillsides or stretched along the aptly-named 1/2 Golden Valley » the vineyards stretch as far as the neighbouring village of Saint-Martin-sous-Montaigu. The controlled appellation status was instituted in 1923. Reunited by means of the Brotherhood of the Chanteflute, created in 1971, the local winemakers are dedicated to enjoying the wines of Mercurey and promoting them to the world. Rich, meaty and solidly put together, Mercurey is secure in its position among the royalty of wines, brings out the best from beef rib steaks, or joints of beef or lamb, braised or in sauce. Roast pork is well suited to its rich aromas, as are poultry-based stews. Exotic dishes likewise prove worthy partners for this wine. As for the cheeseboard, this wine harmonizes equally well with either mild, soft cheeses or aged versions. Serving Temperature: 14 to 15 °C for young wine and 15 to 16° C for mature wine.
