Vin de France Pinot Noir Collection 2022 Olivier Chanzy

What kind of wine it is

Pinot Noir Collection by Olivier Chanzy is a red wine made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, which grow in the Côte Chalonnaise, at the heart of Burgundy. Vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by 12 months of maturation in oak barrels. The profile stands out for its elegant and smooth style, characterized by a fine tannic texture and a well-defined fruity imprint. The structure remains balanced, offering a rounded character that precisely expresses the variety's qualities.

Where it comes from

The grapes used come from the Côte Chalonnaise, an area in the southern part of Burgundy that represents a major reference point for the variety. The location in this specific area defines an ideal context for the production of elegant red wines, where the expression of the vines tends to favor balance and aromatic clarity. The geographical origin gives the wine a measured profile, focused on fruit and on a composed tannic structure, consistent with its strong Burgundian identity.

How it is made

The production process starts with vinification in stainless steel tanks, a technical choice that allows for precise control over fermentation and a clean management of the grape's aromatic potential. Afterwards, the wine matures for 12 months in oak barrels, an essential step to complete its flavor development and integrate its phenolic components. This wood aging rounds out the taste further, without compromising the wine's freshness and fruity focus.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows a clear ruby red color. On the nose, the aromatic bouquet is dominated by aromas of red fruit, with primary notes of cherry and strawberry harmoniously blending with hints of blackberry and spicy nuances. On the palate, the sip is round, driven by silky tannins that sustain the tasting and ensure a smooth, inviting progression. The finish is tidy and confirms the spicy impressions first perceived on the nose.

Food pairings

This red is particularly recommended with red meats and cured meats, where the wine’s balanced structure and softness complement the savory and structured elements of the dish. It is also perfect alongside semi-aged cheeses, with a palate that maintains its clean, refreshing quality throughout. Its aromatic precision brings out the best in these pairings and offers a harmonious match that highlights the wine’s fruity notes in the glass.
