Chanzy Bourgogne Hautes Cotes De Beaune Blanc

This is the regional appellation for the Hautes Côtes vineyard in the Côte d’Or. It was officially created in 1961. The appellation extends over the Côte-d’Or, in the twelve Hautes Côtes communes and on the heights of ten Côte de Beaune communes. Slow and gentle pressing with fermentation in tuns and 500l barrels under temperature control. Aged in tuns and 500l barrels for ten to twelve months and then one month of flavour maturation in stainless steel vat.

This wine is slightly straw colour with pale gold reflections. Aromas of white flowers combine with honey, reminiscent of gingerbread. On the palate, it shows elegance, pleasant while retaining the freshness of the grape variety without giving in to excess mellowness. Try with snails, grilled fish, wok style vegetables or soft and mild cheese.
