Winemaker Notes

Our vines on the appellation Chablis spread over 12 hectares, situated at the heart of the Chablisian vineyard. This wine is aged in stainless steel tanks so as to respect the typicity of the appellation. Our Chablis are characterised by their freshness, power and tenacity. Their bouquet displays a dominance of mineral notes, which are often associated with delicate touches of citrus fruit (lemon and grapefruit). This wine can be enjoyed within 2 years, an excellent match for seafood or fish.

92 Points, Decanter (for 2020 vintage)

Domaine Bernard Defaix is a highly-rated family estate based in Milly, with the vines for this bottling averaging 30 years age. Ten months lees ageing adds to the complexity on both the nose and palate. Refined, classy and complex characters on show here, which meld beautifully with the ripe peachy fruit notes. A very fine, expressive, distinctive Chablis which is ready to drink now but will age very well for many years.

Camille Giroud is one of the most dynamic négociants in Burgundy. Giroud founded his small négociant firm back in 1865 and about a century later, the company was still being run by his daughter-in-law and their children. At the time, the aim was to obtain grapes from the best vineyard sites and then age them in heavily seasoned barrels, only releasing them once fully matured; these wines were known for being heavy and tannic.

Then, for over two decades, David Croix transformed Maison Giroud: he elevated the brand by producing more refined, contemporary expressions of Burgundy. Croix focused on lower yields, riper grapes and creating wines with vibrant personality and softer tannins. Since 2016, these high quality, joyous and modern wines have been made by Carel Voorhuis.

Maison Camille Giroud is a true négociant, with only 2.7 acres of its own under vine. It’s become known as a dependable source of Burgundy that delivers the best of both worlds — wines that are matured and traditional in style, as well as younger wines that beautifully communicate their terroir.   

This wine has fresh citrus and tropical notes, well-balanced creaminess, surprising concentration and ripe acidity. Wonderful entry-level bottle of Burgundy that will last a few years.

Winemaker Notes

This wine is a selection from our estate and it pays tribute to the Maison Champy's founder: Edme Champy. The wine is made up of a mixed selection of 80 barrels, 40 of which come from Domaine Champy's vines (in the villages of Volnay and Ladoix) and from vines in the village of Santenay in the Côte de Beaune. The grapes are manually harvested and aged in barrels (of which 25 are new) for a duration of 14 months.

The wine is dark ruby with purple highlights. On the nose it's very open, with notes of small black fruit and vanilla on a finely woody background. Fresh on the palate, supple and round. A lively and structured wine, with tannins that are present but coated.

Winemaker Notes

The grapes from this wine come from 1.58 acres. The vines are approx. 45 years old, 250m meters in altitude and grown in deep clay soil with Jurassic limestone substrate. The grapes are 100% destemmed, undergo indigenous yeast fermentation in open tanks with punch-downs and pump-overs daily. The wine is aged for 18 months in barrel (15-30% of which is new oak), undergoes 3 months of blending in stainless steel then is bottled.

Tasting Note

2018 is a vintage of pleasure. Very ripe and fresh on the nose with plum and red and dark berries. On the palate, medium-bodied, juicy, vibrant and with a seductive texture backed up with a firm, serious finish.

A dry year has again benefitted this vineyard, whose heavier soils help retain water. It’s located just below Caillerets, and it’s tempting to feel that there’s extra finesse from that proximity. Certainly, there’s weight, and complexity, too; this is a wine whose gravitas creeps up on you. At heart, it’s still a Volnay, with a gentle peony perfume. Drink 2025-2038. 

Winemaker Notes

Our wine comes from vines that are between 15 and 50 years old, situated South of Volnay in the climate called Les Lurets. Facing East/South-East and at an altitude of 235 to 240 metres, they are planted in well drained stony soil. Lurets may come from the word larrey stemming from the Latin word latus, which means side of a hill-mountain or slope

93 Points, Decanter

Not the biggest white wine cuvée at Maison Champy at only 25 barrels, but this 1ha parcel planted in the 1970s has produced a very stylish, saline, focused Chardonnay in the heat of 2018, with sweet vanilla-spicy oak, subtle gunflint aromas and a core of fresh, tangy, citrus and lime fruit.

Winemaker Notes

These vineyards cover the hilly slopes of Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. There are only four Premier Crus Pinot Noirs: “Les Fichots”, “En Caradeux”, “Creux de la Net”, “Iles des Hautes et Basses Vergelesses”. This wine is aged in a 350-barrel and a 228-litre used barrel. The wine is open and intense on the nose with notes of orange and grapefruit. The attack is fresh and supple. A well-balanced and concentrated wine with good mineral length on the finish.

Winemaker Notes

This plot, nestled 270 meters on the hill of Corton, faces the rising sun. The 70-year-old vines take root in poor calcareous soil, with light and very draining soil. This climate and its demanding terroir pushes the plant to its limits and encourages it to give the best of itself: a wine that offers a real presence, a beautiful intensity while retaining its finesse and elegance. When young, Rognet-et-Corton exudes notes of spicy fruit, blackcurrant and kirsch. As it ages, it develops aromas of undergrowth, truffles and leather. It is what one expects from the excellence of a red Grand Cru from Burgundy: the incarnation of the seductive Pinot Noir. This great charmer likes to be desired and is best enjoyed between 4 and 15 years.

Winemaker Notes

This climate possesses the oldest vine in the commune planted in 1881. Gevrey-Chambertin's worldwide reputation is based on the excellence of its Grands Crus. "Mazoyère" means "small houses" in the french language. This Grand Cru is located in cold micro-climate which allows a clear distinction from its neighbour Les Charmes.

Installed on limestone outcrops covered with a red-colored soil. The rocky basement is very resistant but well cracked, which allows the roots of the vine to dive into the deep. This is the explanation of their amazing longevity. Some plots are more than 100 years old.

Burghound

A very reserved nose requires aggressive swirling to reveal aromas of cassis, plum liqueur, violet and soft earth nuances. Once again there is very good energy and volume to the delicious medium-bodied flavors that are blessed with plenty of sap that imparts a textured quality to the mildly dry finish.

Winemaker Notes

Founded in the twelfth century by Cistercian monks, Clos de Vougeot is unquestionably the most extensive vineyard Grands Crus of Burgundy. It is still fully walled. It takes its name from the river that runs through the village: the Vouge.

Our plot is located in the southern part of the Clos. The conditions are excellent for quality viticulture. The vines are based on limestone gravel from the slopes of the Combe d'Orveau. It is brown limestone soils, rich in clay elements.

Burghound

This too is aromatically quite floral on the layered aromas of plum, cassis and black raspberry that are nuanced by hints of earth and game.

Winemaker Notes

These 40-year-old vines, facing east, bloom freshly at 300 meters above sea level, on a hill opposite the valley of Saint-Romain. The strong presence of limestone, as its name suggests, is the great characteristic of this climate. The minerality makes up the matrix of this invigorating white so that when we close our eyes, it reminds us of the fragrances of a torrent or an undergrowth after the rain. Hand-picked and naturally fermetned.

Its freshness, elegance, aromas of white flowers and wet stone seduce from its early youth. Let it pass five to seven years and this Saint-Roman will offer you delicious deepening scents of roasted almonds and chalky soil notes.

Winemaker Notes

These vineyards cover the hilly slopes of Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. There are only four Premier Crus Pinot Noirs: “Les Fichots”, “En Caradeux”, “Creux de la Net”, “Iles des Hautes et Basses Vergelesses”. Two new “clos” have also received the appellation Premier Cru: “Clos du Village” and “Clos Berthier”.

The grapes from Domaine Champy's “Les Quartiers”, “Les Pins”, “La Morand” and “Derrière Frétille” are used in this wine. They are grown on clay and limestone soil. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermented and aged for 10 months in barrel (30% of which are new). This wine is pale golden in colour with hints of silver. It has good aromatic intensity and nice transparency. The nose opens with white flower, citrus and wild mint notes, and a mineral touch. A frank, fresh and elegant attack. On the palate, the wine is mineral, harmonious and rich, with a long and persistent finish.
