The estate
Founded in Beaune in 1720 by cooper Edme Champy, the House of Champy is the oldest merchant house in Burgundy. It farms around 21 hectares across the prestigious appellations of the Côte de Beaune and combines the activities of producer and Négociant-Éleveur. The House, part of the AdVini group since 2016 and technically led by Dimitri Bazas, continues three centuries of Burgundian innovation and tradition, with a commitment to organic farming initiated in 2007.

The vineyard
The Corton Grand Cru "Le Rognet" comes from a 0.33-hectare plot on the Montagne de Corton. The vineyard lies at an altitude between 250 and 330 meters and benefits from an east-southeast exposure as well as an amphitheater-like layout. The vines grow on a clay-limestone terroir and are farmed under certified organic practices.

The vintage
After a winter that was milder and drier than average, the first green shoots appeared at the beginning of April. Favorable weather conditions in the first half of September gave the 2022 vintage generosity and quality.
