Today, I was at Maison Champy in the town of Beaune for a tour of their cellar and a brief dégustation. I didn’t take notes during the tasting, so these are just some quick thoughts on the wines as I remember them.
Already at village level quite dense on the nose. Lots of minerality and fresh citrus fruits with a long finish. Indicative points 9-11. I’d give this just a little more time in the bottle to let the acidity settle in. Try again from 2024, possibly 2025. Should keep until 2030.
Drink from 2024 through 2030.
