The Producer
Rully En Rosey places a named Côte Chalonnaise red beside Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Fortunés and Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru in Maison Chanzy's range. The domaine works with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, using cold maceration before fermentation for its red wines and barrel ageing for selected bottles. Les Fortunés is marked by freshness and Chardonnay fruit, while the red wines extend from Rully to the Côte de Beaune and the Grand Cru vineyard of Charmes Chambertin.
Place
Maison Chanzy's home village is Bouzeron in the Côte Chalonnaise. Rully En Rosey comes from the highest elevation vineyard in Rully, where the cooler position produces freshness in the wine. The range also includes a red Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune wine carrying a Côte de Beaune appellation, placing Rully's named vineyard beside a broader regional Burgundy address.
Wines
The range includes Rully En Rosey 2021, a red Pinot Noir from the Côte Chalonnaise; Maison Chanzy Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune 2021, a red wine carrying a Côte de Beaune appellation; and Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Fortunés 2023, a white Chardonnay. Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru adds a classified Burgundy vineyard to the range.
The red wines receive cold maceration before fermentation for 10 days. Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru is aged in 228 litre barrels, with 30 percent new barrels, followed by stainless steel ageing. The bottles move from broad regional labels to a named Rully vineyard and then to Grand Cru classification.
In The Glass
Rully En Rosey moves from cherry ruby to dark garnet, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and licorice. Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru is dark ruby, with red berries, spices and flowers.
Cold maceration before fermentation extracts colour and tannin, while barrel ageing can soften texture and add spice as the wine matures. Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Fortunés is marked by freshness and the fruitiness of Chardonnay, giving the range a white wine shaped by freshness and fruit.
A Bottle To Understand It
Rully En Rosey is the first bottle to open. It is Pinot Noir from Rully's highest elevation vineyard, a named Côte Chalonnaise site with a cooler position and a cellar treatment built around cold maceration before fermentation and barrel ageing. Its range role is clear: one grape and one named vineyard, alongside the broader Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune red and the white Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Fortunés.
Final Word
Maison Chanzy brings Bouzeron, Rully and the Côte de Beaune into one Burgundy range, with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay moving from regional labels to Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru.
