Description
Product description for Boris Champy Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune rouge, Altitude AOP 2022 (bio)
In 2019, Boris Champy took over the domaine, founded by Didier Montchovet in 1984. Champy, who previously managed estates such as Dominus in California, Louis Latour, and Clos de Lambrays, took over the domaine, which had already converted to organic and then biodynamic farming in the 1980s, making it the first Demeter-certified winery in Burgundy. The estate now comprises twelve hectares in the once cooler Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, which, for Boris Champy, represents the future of Burgundy due to climate change. The Altitude comes from two plots in Nantoux: En Bignon (clay soil on hard limestone) and Le Clou (white limestone soil, large pebbles on yellow marl). The plots are cultivated with traditional low-growing vines (10,000 vines/ha) using single Guyot pruning and, in some cases, double Guyot pruning. The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, followed by gentle extraction of 50% whole bunches in wooden barrels. The wines are aged for an average of 12 months, 15% of which in new barrels.
Colour
Transparent ruby red.
Nose
The 2022 Altitude Hautes-Côtes du Beaune Rouge from Boris Champy initially smells of undergrowth, cedar, and delicate balsamic notes. Beneath slumber light red berries such as wild raspberries, red mulberries, and sour cherries, balanced by light spicy notes reminiscent of allspice and juniper. A Burgundy with a clear cool climate appeal.
Palate
Crystalline on the palate, the Altitude is crystal clear and polished. The ruby-red fruit radiates on the palate, exuding a scent of similarly coloured fruits, hedonistic and joyful, without rough edges, polished and smooth. The transparent impression continues seamlessly, accelerated by the fresh acidity.

Vinous
Score: (88-90)
The 2022 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Altitude, due to be bottled next March, offers redcurrant, cranberry and subtle sous-bois aromas on the nose, just a background scent of black tea. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, slightly brittle with chalky tannins. This wine makes me wish I was drinking it in a bistro – i.e., it will shine accompanying food. Quite saline on the off-dry, slightly austere finish, I would give it a few months in bottle.
