Tasting Notes
Pale golden colour with hints of silver. Good aromatic intensity and good transparency. The nose opens on white flower, citrus and wild mint notes, with a mineral touch. Frank, fresh and elegant attack. On the palate, the wine is mineral, harmonious and rich, with a long and persistent finish.

About Maison Champy
Maison Champy runs a large part of its 21 ha of vines on the Côte de Beaune – especially in Pernand-Vergelesses – organically in order to preserve and highlight the true character of this exceptional terroir.
Precision wine growing is Maison Champy’s objective. The importance of the environment means that every single treatment follows the practices of sustainable and organic farming. With three centuries of history and experience behind it, Maison Champy has established a precious know-how in the selection of rare and sought-after Burgundy crus. This is especially the case for Côte de Nuits, where long-term partnerships have enabled Maison Champy to follow the work in the vineyards throughout the year, all the way up to the harvest, before taking over both the winemaking and ageing process.
