Domaine Boris Champy : Beaune 1er cru "Aux Coucherias" 2023

This beautiful Beaune 1er Cru marries summer flower fragrances with red fruit charm and elegant tannins to deliver a very vivid expression of this appellation. I love the interplay of chalky tannins, zesty freshness and cherry pit flavors. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink from release.

The name means “sunset vineyard” because it gets the late-afternoon light. It’s a wine full of tannins, a mille-feuille of tannins, but all of them fine and all of them drenched in the scarlet sweetness of jewelled fruit. Fragrant from beginning to end. Alpine strawberries. Long. A heartbeat wine. (TC)
