Boris Champy, a rising star in Burgundy, is redefining what’s possible in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune from his base in the village of Nantoux. His 'Montagne 382' Chardonnay is sourced from the Montagne de Cras vineyard at 382 metres elevation, a cool, stony site enriched by clay and surrounded by high biodiversity. Farmed biodynamically and harvested by hand, the fruit is whole bunch pressed and fermented in 228L barrels (25% new), then aged on lees for 12 months before resting briefly in stainless steel. The 2022 vintage is vibrant yet textured, with layered citrus, honey and floral notes, integrated oak, and fresh acidity. A brilliant example of how thoughtful farming and altitude can produce wines that punch well above their classification.
