Wine information

The soils are interspersed with pebbles , limestone, calcareous marl and clay. The four hectares of the vineyard are divided into three hectares of vines and one hectare of compensatory land with boulders, hedges, fruit trees, grassy meadows with numerous orchids and rare tree species The vines were planted very densely with 10,000 canes per hectare and raised in Guyot and Lyra. The wine, fermented spontaneously, was aged for twelve months in used pièces and small stainless steel tanks on the yeast.
Color
medium straw yellow
Nose
Boris Champys Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Élévation 382 2019 offers a ripe, almost soft and silky nose with notes of ripe apricots and peaches, melons, yellow apples along with a few slices of pineapple and lemon. There is also a hint of nuts lightly toasted in honey.
Palate
Also on the palate the white Élévation 382 Ripe and full with the already mentioned mix of slightly exotic notes as well as those from the local orchard. The texture seems elegant and silky with light tannin and an acidity that at first also already seems silky and ripe, but over time and into the finish becomes more and more present and demanding until the Burgundy then slowly subsides in a longer finale with salty and salivary notes.
