Champy : Beaune Village "Vieilles Vignes" 2022

A spicy version, offering black cherry, blackberry, earth and iron notes. Dense yet offset by vivid acidity, this red delivers balance, with its broad tannins beautifully integrated. Fresh and persistent in the end. Best from 2027 through 2043. 805 cases made, 100 cases imported.

This prototypical Beaune combines the commune's red fruit charm with savory and rooty complexity plus just a hint of smoke. All of this is wrapped around a compact core of fine tannins. Very long, spicy finish. From 70-year-old vines on the lower section of Beaune's vineyards. From organically grown grapes.
