Maison Champy

Maison Champy is the oldest wine company in Burgundy boasting a history dating back to 1720. Maison Champy runs a large part of its 21 ha of vines on the Côte de Beaune – especially in Pernand-Vergelesses – organically in order to preserve and highlight the true character of this exceptional terroir. Precision wine growing is Maison Champy’s objective. The importance of the environment means that every single treatment follows the practices of sustainable and organic farming.The winery, which has been declared a historic monument by UNESCO, was designed by the famed architect, Gustave Eiffel and sits above an ancient 15th-century Jacobin monk cellar, where the wines are aged in the heart of Beaune.




Maison Champy owns 52 acres of vineyards, including holdings in Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru, Clos de Bully in Pernand-Vergelessess, Beaune 1er Cru Aux Cras, and Charmes Chambertin.
 

Le Beaune 1^er cru « Aux Cras »

Champy is a main producer of this climate, which is famous for having been listed as a “Tête de Cuvée” in Docteur Laval’s 1855 wine list, by analogy with Bordeaux classification. In other words, it’s one of the best rated Burgundy crus.

 

Le Clos de Bully en Pernand-Vergelesses

One of the oldest vineyards in Burgundy. Planted in 1158 by the monks of the Abbey of Maizières, this plot has hidden treasures such as a source and a Roman well.

 

Le Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru

One of the most beautiful terroirs of Burgundy and its breathtaking panorama.

 

A "Haute-couture" ageing of the wines

It is a work of "haute couture", with long ageing periods (up to 16 months) and an average of only two barrels per wine.
