Our story

Discover the Chanzy estate

1928

It all began in 1928, in Bouzeron, a small village in the Saône-et-Loire region, perched halfway up the hillside of a valley whose two sides produce famous white wines.

Mr Joseph Sordet created the Verger d'Exemple estate in a building built over a 16th century arched cave. His aim was to make the cultivation of low-stemmed fruit trees known and adopted in the region and to popularise the practice of grafting.

The success was immediate. In addition to growing vines in Bouzeron, Mr Sordet taught his grafting techniques to farmers and winegrowers throughout the Côte Chalonnaise to help their businesses grow.

1952

The estate was bought by Mr Lucien Juif in 1952. At that time, the estate represented 12 hectares, all planted with Aligoté grapes in the commune of Bouzeron.

Mr Juif grew vines, but also cereals and a plant nursery was still in place.

1966

In 1966 the estate changed hands again when Mr Jean Beudet, a notary from Chagny, bought it. It then took the name of Domaine Beudet and increased to 18 hectares of vines.

1974

Finally in 1974, Mr Daniel Chanzy and his wife Catherine bought and created the Domaine Chanzy; 37 hectares of Aligoté, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir planted on the 3 Côtes of Burgundy (Côte Chalonnaise, Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits).

2013

Bought in 2013 by the investment firm OLMA, that specializes in experiential luxury and co- managed by M. Stéphane Petrossian and Philippe Der Megreditchian.

Today, with 80 hectares of vines in property, 66 of which are planted and exploited, the estate has appellations as diverse as they are varied, from Mercurey to Vosne-Romanée, passing through Rully, Givry, Maranges, Santenay, Volnay and Puligny-Montrachet.
