The authentic expression of Burgundy's terroir by Maison Champy

The estate

Founded in 1720 by Edme Champy, Maison Champy is the oldest négociant house still operating in Burgundy. Located in the heart of Beaune, this historic house farms an estate of around 21 hectares. A pioneer of organic and biodynamic viticulture, it also stands out for its exceptional architectural heritage. Since 2016, the estate has belonged to the AdVini group, headed by Antoine Leccia, while technical management remains in the hands of oenologist Dimitri Bazas, ensuring continuity and excellence in the wines.

The vineyard

The grapes for this Burgundy wine come from carefully selected plots on the estate, located in the villages of Pernand-Vergelesses and Volnay. The vines thrive on clay-limestone soils, which are particularly well suited to expressing the freshness and minerality typical of this grape variety.

This Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 is crafted using traditional methods. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out with natural yeasts. To preserve the aromatic purity and vibrancy of the fruit, the wine is aged entirely in stainless steel tanks.
