A dark garnet color. An intense nose marked by a grilled reduction and smoky notes. Aromas of “gariguette” and wild strawberry. The palate is rich, fleshy, and very fruity. A wine with a great ageing potential.

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.
