The 2023 Maison Chanzy Bourgogne Pinot Noir Les Fortunes is an elegant and expressive red Burgundy that showcases the quality achievable from the Côte Chalonnaise under the care of a venerable producer. Maison Chanzy was founded in 1974 by Daniel Chanzy in Bouzeron, and over the decades the domaine has expanded its holdings across around 163 acres spanning Côte Chalonnaise and Côte de Beaune, farming sustainably and managing a wide range of appellations from village to regional levels. Les Fortunes is made from 100 % Pinot Noir grown on typical clay-limestone soils with vines averaging about 35 years, and vinified with a period of cold pre-fermentation maceration before aging in French oak barrels and stainless steel to preserve freshness and fruit purity. On the nose and palate, expect bright red fruits like cherry and raspberry, subtle earth and floral complexity, delicate yet present tannins, and refreshing structure—classic traits of a well-made Bourgogne with a nod to both terroir and disciplined winemaking. Fun fact: while this is a regional Bourgogne bottling, Maison Chanzy applies many techniques usually reserved for higher-tier village and Premier Cru wines, making Les Fortunes a superb value that punches above its appellation in both character and food-friendliness.
