Lucien Juif bought the estate in 1952, then 12 hectares of aligoté, and in 1966 it passed to Jean Beudet, a notary from Chagny, who enlarged it to 18 hectares. It took the name Domaine Chanzy in 1974, when Daniel and Catherine Chanzy bought it and took the vineyard to 37 hectares. Today the estate belongs to OLMA, an investment company co-led by Stéphane Petrossian and Philippe Der Megreditchian. It owns 80 hectares, 66 of them planted, with four monopoles and five clos, among them the Clos de la Fortune, the only monopole of the Bouzeron appellation, and it is certified High Environmental Value. ## What you will see In Bouzeron, the team shows visitors the historic cellars, the vat room and the working estate before a tasting of wines such as Bouzeron, Rully, Mercurey premier cru and Puligny-Montrachet. In Puligny-Montrachet, the Maison Chanzy occupies a former home of Vincent Leflaive: a tasting cellar and wine bar under 16th-century vaults of white Burgundy stone, opening onto a terrace and a garden that face the slopes of the Montrachet. Tables can be booked there, and private tastings with food and wine pairings are arranged on request. ## Opening hours and tickets - Opening hours: All year: Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00 Checked on 8 October 2026 on [the official site](https://www.chanzy.com/contact). ## Planning your visit The Bouzeron cellar, on the rue de la Fontaine, opens from Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00.
