Domaine Chanzy Santenay 1er Cru Beaurepaire 2022

Domaine Chanzy’s 2022 Santenay 1er Cru Beaurepaire is a fresh, intense and distinctly Burgundian Pinot Noir from one of Santenay’s elevated Premier Cru sites. Its limestone-rich soils bring an elegant mineral character to the wine, while careful oak maturation adds depth without overshadowing the vibrant fruit. Already approachable, it also offers attractive potential for further development in bottle.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a bright ruby-red colour. On the nose, it reveals layered aromas of raspberry and strawberry alongside liquorice, forest floor, cinnamon and a subtle touch of vanilla from the French oak. The palate is fresh and gently rounded, with silky texture, refined structure and a clear expression of its Santenay origin. The mineral finish adds poise and length, and the wine should gain further complexity over the next several years with careful cellaring.

Production
The Beaurepaire Premier Cru vineyard sits high on a hillside near Sous la Roche in Santenay, where the pronounced limestone content contributes to the wine’s fine mineral character. The grapes are harvested by hand before being matured for 10 months in small French oak barrels, followed by a further five months in stainless-steel tanks. This combination preserves the Pinot Noir’s freshness and precision while allowing the oak-derived spice and vanilla notes to integrate harmoniously.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 15–16°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. It is a natural match for roast chicken, duck, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes, coq au vin and moderately seasoned Burgundy-inspired cuisine. The 2022 can be enjoyed now after a short decant of 30–45 minutes, although older bottles may benefit from gentler handling and limited aeration.
