Information about the wine

For this wine, Boris Champy used Pinot Noir from the Le Clou plot in Nantoux. The plot lies at an altitude of 377 meters above sea level. Its soil is characterized by white clay with a high proportion of limestone marl. Overall, this is a very stony vineyard, which Boris calls his Châteauneuf. Boris Champy’s vineyards were planted in the 1980s, with a vine density of over 10,000, using Lyre and Guyot systems. He only destemmed a small portion of the grapes; 70% are whole bunches. However, due to the botrytis-affected vintage, Champy completely destemmed the grapes, treated the stems with sulfur, and formed a millefeuille of layers of destemmed grapes and stems to ferment the grapes. He extracted the wine gently and aged it in a foudre for twelve months, with 30% in new wood.

Colour

Intense purple red

Nose

Boris Champy’s 2021 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune “Altitude 377 Le Clou” is dark with plenty of spice and a touch of incense over red cherry, plum, and wild strawberry fruit. There’s also a hint of graphite, rock, and mint on elegant and discreetly used wood.

Palate

On the palate, Le Clou 377 shows fine tannins that envelop the dark fruit. The acidity is lively and provides punch. The wine has a pleasant melt, and the third of new wood is very well integrated and provides depth. This is a wine with substance.
