MAISON CHAMPY

Established in 1720, Maison Champy has an illustrious history and is the oldest wine company in Burgundy. Declared a historic monument by UNESCO, the winery was designed by the famed architect, Gustave Eiffel. It sits above an ancient 15th-century Jacobin monk cellar and was also the place where renowned scientist, Louis Pasteur had his laboratory and developed the pasteurization method. (His equipment can still be seen there today!) Winemaking is led by Technical Director and Oenologist, Dimitri Bazas. He has been with Maison Champy for more than 20 years, guiding their mission to craft the best possible expression of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, highlighting the exceptional terroir of its 52 acres of prized organically farmed Beune vineyards.

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 vineyards of Pernand-Vergelesses are on a very hilly area. They stretch over the slopes in between the hills of Aloxe Corton and Savigny-les-Beaune. In the village of Pernand-Vergelesses only six plots are classified as red Premiers Crus: les Fichots, en Caradeux, Creux de la Net, Iles des Vergelesses, Les Vergelesses, and Les Plantes des Champs. This locality is one of the oldest vineyards of Burgundy. It was planted in 1158 by the monks of the Abbaye de Maizières on a limestone marl soil.

Lovely dark garnet color with a beautiful shine.
Good aromatic intensity. The nose is very fresh with notes of small red and black fruits on a mineral and smoky background (marl limestone).
Well delineated, fresh and fruity on the palate. Good structure and balance, the tannins are present but fine. Persistent finish ending on the fruitiness and mineral freshness.

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.

 

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.
