The historic and refined expression of a Premier Cru from Pommard

The estate

Founded in 1720, Maison Champy is the oldest négociant house still active in Burgundy, France.

Now owned by the AdVini S.A. group, Maison Champy continues its historic legacy while blending tradition and modernity to express the authenticity of its terroirs.

The vineyard

This wine comes from the prestigious terroir of Pommard, located on the Côte de Beaune. The plots classified as Premier Cru benefit from an environment conducive to the full expression of the grape variety, cultivated with particular attention to preserving the soil and biodiversity through environmentally responsible farming practices.

The vintage

The year 2007 offered very favourable weather conditions in Burgundy. The growing cycle allowed for a slow and complete ripening of the grapes, resulting in a healthy harvest with generous yields, higher than the average of previous years.

Winemaking and aging

The production of the Pommard 1er Cru "Grands Epenots" 2007 is carried out with meticulous care.
