Producer Profile
Maison Chanzy is a highly respected Burgundian producer, their wines are a classical demonstration of premium vineyard sites in Côte Chalonnaise, Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.

As such, Chanzy are one of the few Burgundy producers to achieve Haute Valeur Environnementale level loop 3; the most highly regarded certification for agriculture in France.
