The precision and richness of a Premier Cru from the Côte de Beaune
The estate
Established in Beaune in 1720 by Edme Champy, a cooper, Champy is considered the oldest négociant-éleveur House in Burgundy. Since 2016, it has been part of the AdVini group and farms 21 hectares in the Côte de Beaune, from Volnay to Corton-Charlemagne. Committed to more sustainable viticulture, it now has an even split between vines certified in organic farming (50%) and High Environmental Value (50%). Awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label in 2021, Champy combines heritage and modernity, and remains the only production site still active in the heart of Beaune’s old town.
The vineyard
The Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru « Ile des Vergelesses » comes from plots located in the commune of Pernand-Vergelesses, at the northern tip of the Côte de Beaune. With its pronounced relief, the vineyard lies between 250 and 350 meters above sea level. The vines take root in clay-limestone marls, which shape the wine’s structure and mineral dimension.
Vinification and aging
The Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru « Ile des Vergelesses » grapes were harvested by hand. A cold pre-fermentation maceration was carried out before spontaneous alcoholic fermentation, driven by indigenous yeasts. The vatting lasted around three weeks. The wine was then aged for 14 months in eight barrels, 25% of which were new oak.
Grape variety
This Burgundy wine is 100% Pinot Noir.
