Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune "Altitude" 2020 Domaine Boris Champy
The Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune "Altitude" 2020 from Domaine Boris Champy is a masterpiece reflecting the authentic soul of the Hautes-Côtes terroir. This wine blends two distinctive parcels, "En Bignon" and "Le Clou", located in Nantoux, offering a rare expression of the diversity and complexity of the region. The clay soil on hard limestone of "En Bignon" and the white chalky soil on yellow marl of "Le Clou" both contribute to the richness and depth of this wine, which takes its name from the influence of altitude on the vines.
The viticulture follows a traditional approach, with low vine density per hectare and Guyot pruning method, ensuring high-quality yields. The grapes are strictly hand-harvested, ensuring the selection of the best grapes and perfect ripening.
In the cellar of Domaine Boris Champy, utmost attention is paid to quality. During winemaking, special care is taken with gentle extraction, using 50% whole clusters and wooden fermenters that allow for controlled fermentation. After this crucial phase, the wine is aged in oak barrels for 12 months, with 15% of them being new barrels. This process gives the wine a structure and complexity that perfectly marry the characteristics of the terroir.
Upon tasting, the Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune "Altitude" 2020 offers an intriguing aromatic bouquet dominated by notes of stone fruit, cedar accents, and undergrowth. On the palate, it stands out for its expressiveness, with a rich variety of red and black fruit and a well-balanced acidity that enhances its freshness and balance. It is a true example of what one can expect from a perfect Burgundy wine: refined, enjoyable, and extremely thirst-quenching.
To best accompany this extraordinary wine, it is recommended to pair it with a choice cut of meat, such as a grilled fillet, or a vegetarian tagine enriched with raisins. Alternatively, it can be enjoyed paired with hard cheeses, which further enhance its aromatic nuances.
The Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune "Altitude" 2020 from Domaine Boris Champy is ready to be enjoyed now but can also be cellared for 5-8 years, developing greater complexity and depth over time. Certified Organic and Biodynamic, this wine represents not only a pleasure for the palate but also a tribute to the land and its wonders.
