Palate
Juicy and crisp with notes of cherry, raspberry and strawberry; initially youthful, slightly drying tannins that gradually integrate into a creamy texture; fresh, spicy and with a firm backbone.
Character
An elegant, structured red wine with the fresh coolness of high altitudes, gaining in finesse with air and a little time whilst remaining grippy and firm.
Pairing
Pan-roasted duck breast with cherry jus, mushroom risotto with fresh herbs or matured Comté.
Notes
From the Le Clou parcel at 377 metres above sea level, on white clay-limestone marl soils; 90% whole-bunch fermentation and twelve months’ maturation in large wooden casks; from Burgundy’s first Demeter-certified estate since 1984.
Tasting note
Colour & appearance
Medium-intensity ruby red, showing a vibrant, youthful transparency in the glass – clear and inviting.
Nose
A highly refined bouquet of cherries, dark strawberries and raspberries, underpinned by warm spices such as cinnamon and clove. A touch of vanilla and floral notes of peony complete the complex aromatic interplay – finely spiced and juicy at once.
Palate
Initially dominated by juicy fruit with a slight yeasty veil and brioche notes, accompanied by cherry, raspberry and strawberry aromas. The tannins are still young and slightly drying at first, but gradually evolve into a creamy texture. The wine is crisp, fresh and spicy, possesses backbone and, with air and a little warmth, becomes decidedly elegant – yet remains grippy and firm throughout. It needs a little more time.
Finish
Persistent and structured, with a spicy freshness that lingers long on the palate. The youthful structure promises development potential.
Terroir & origin
The Le Clou parcel in Nantoux lies at an altitude of 377 metres in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. The soil is characterised by white clay with a high proportion of calcareous marl – a very stony vineyard that Boris Champy refers to as his Châteauneuf. The elevated site ensures later ripening and preserves natural freshness.
Grape variety & vinification
Grape variety: Pinot Noir. Part of the vineyard was planted in the 1980s with a density of over 10,000 vines per hectare, trained in Guyot. Boris Champy destemmed only a small portion of the grapes – 90% whole bunches were retained. Gentle extraction, twelve months’ maturation in large wooden casks, including 30% new wood.
Food recommendations
A wine for duck breast with cherries, rack of lamb with a herb crust or braised mushrooms on polenta. Also an exciting combination with mature Comté.
Special features
The magnum bottle (1500 ml) slows the ageing process and preserves freshness for longer – ideal for this structured, still youthful wine that benefits from patience. The high planting density and stony site lend the wine remarkable concentration and mineral tension, setting it apart from classic Côte de Beaune wines.
