Information about the Wine

For this wine, Boris Champy used Pinot Noir from two different plots: En Bignon in Bouze and Le Clou in Nantoux. The soil of both plots is characterized by red loam and white clay with a high marl content. Some of the vineyards were planted in the 1980s with a vine density of over 10,000, some using Guyot and some using Lyra training. This year, Boris Champy used 50% whole bunch grapes, gently extracting the grapes, and aged the wine in foudres for twelve months, with 15% in new oak.

Colour

Transparent ruby red

Nose

Boris Champy’s Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Altitude 2020 is incredibly fresh and fragrant, with notes of sour cherries, cinnamon cherries, raspberries, and juicy plums, as well as a hint of orange zest and vanilla. The wood used by Champy is of the highest quality and very discreet, yet with an exclamation mark.

Palate

On the palate, the wine is delicious, lively, clear, and fresh from the very first moment. It is characterized by red and dark berries, cherries and a fresh, vibrant blood orange fruit, as well as some cranberries. This is combined with the stunningly elegant wood and a hint of black berries, which, together with the tannins, provide firmness. It is an almost electrifyingly lively tonic Pinot Noir with a fine salty finish, a wonderful acid structure and plenty of energy, sophisticated yet uncomplicated, balanced and a Burgundy in the best sense of the word.
