Boris Champy, who once managed cult wineries such as Dominus and Clos de Lambrays, made a remarkable bet on the future of Burgundy in 2019: the acquisition of a domaine in the Hautes-C\u00f4tes de Beaune. What was once considered a cooler peripheral location is developing into a promising alternative to the classic C\u00f4te d'Or sites thanks to climate change.<\/p>\n
Dark, transparent ruby red with youthful brilliance - classic Burgundian elegance in the glass.<\/p>\n
The Clou 377 initially surprises with its dark, earthy side: undergrowth, fine tobacco and black cardamom form a spicy foundation. But then the fruit comes forward - with red berry clarity. Sour cherry, redcurrant, a hint of eucalyptus candy. Nothing jammy, but a radiant, almost nervous freshness.<\/p>\n
The wine shows its best side here: crisp, precise, youthfully vital. The acidity leads the way, the red fruit follows in a disciplined manner, the tannins remain tightly polished in the background. Medium-bodied with 12.5% alcohol - this is modern Burgundy without over-extraction. The whole-cluster fermentation (80-100%) adds texture without dominating. A wine that invites you to drink, not to meditate.<\/p>\n
Die Parzelle \u201cAu Clou\u201d in Nantoux liegt auf steinigem, wei\u00dfem Mergelboden \u2013 extrem karg, aber wasserversorgt. Traditionelle Bewirtschaftung mit 10.000 St\u00f6cken pro Hektar, biodynamisch zertifiziert seit den 1980er Jahren (erstes Demeter-Weingut im Burgund). 12 Monate Ausbau in Holzf\u00e4ssern. Der Jahrgang 2022 bringt die k\u00fchle Eleganz der Hautes-C\u00f4tes perfekt zum Ausdruck.<\/p>\n
The lively acidity and medium structure make this wine an ideal accompaniment to food: Beetroot gnocchi with gorgonzola and celery<\/strong>, Fried mullet with coffee sauce<\/strong> or Braised leg slice with mushrooms and puree<\/strong> harmonise perfectly. Also to Wild fowl<\/strong> or matured Comt\u00e9<\/strong> an excellent choice.<\/p>\n This wine epitomises a new generation of Burgundy: fresh instead of opulent, easy-drinking instead of monumental. Champy's vision of the Hautes-C\u00f4tes as a region of the future manifests itself here with impressive clarity. A Pinot Noir that is fun to drink - and at a fair price.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Special features<\/h3>\n
