Maison Champy
Maison Champy has always embraced both the traditional and modern. Dimitri Bazas and his three-man expert team operate 21 hectares of vineyard on the Côte de Beaune, from Volnay to the Corton hill.
Maison Champy is the last wine estate active in the old town of Beaune, in 15th century cellars that were once part of the city’s Jacobin convent.
