Domaine Boris Champy - Savigny les Beaune - Petit Aigle 2019
The Domaine Boris Champy is located in Nantoux , in the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy . Boris Champy is from Champagne and has a degree in oenology. He worked for 10 years in Napa Valley in California before becoming technical director of Maison Louis Latour. He was also manager and oenologist at the famous Clos des Lambrays. All terrain, he was the initiator of an association for the protection of the environment, is a triathlete, crossed the bay of San Fransisco by swimming and completed the pilgrimage from Dijon to Santiago de Compostela. The Domaine was founded by Didier Montchovet in 1984. With the complete management of the vineyard, the cellar and the stocks, the Domaine Didier Montchovet is renamed Domaine Boris Champy. Boris Champy enthusiastically believes in the future of the Hautes-Cotes, thanks to their altitude in a context of global warming. He wishes to continue to raise the reputation of this little-known appellation. The objective is to show the subtle differences between climates and terroirs, with different types of soil, exposure to the sun, slope inclinations, etc. The estate was the first in Burgundy to receive Demeter biodynamic certification .
Petit Aigle is the result of micro-trading : since 2010, a small grape-purchasing activity has supplemented the estate's wine production. All grape purchases are sourced from certified organic or biodynamic winegrowers.
Savigny-Les-Beaune is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown on two plots: Planchots and Gollardes. Vinification is carried out with a proportion of whole harvest (30%) in open vats with punching down and pumping over. Aging lasts 10 to 12 months in oak barrels.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
