Maison de Vin Chantereves

I just came across this interesting wine-making concern over the weekend. The first bit of confusion is that although the "winery" is called Chantereves, the name on the label across their whole range says Chanterives. (For those who may not remember things exactly, the added confusion comes from the Graves estate Chateau de Chantegrive). Chantereves is a micro-negoce formed by the collaboration of Tomoko Kuriyama and Guillaume Bott. Kuriyama was chief winemaker for Weingut Altenkirch between 2007-2011, whilst Bott worked for Etienne Sauzet from 1995 to 2002, after which he was appointed chief winemaker of Domaine Simon Bize. With this pedigree, it is no wonder that this micro-negoce is catching everyone's attention ever since they released their first vintage in 2010. There are four wines available in Hong Kong: two vintages of Bourgogne Chardonnay, one of Bourgogne Pinot Noir and a Meursault Crotots.
