Domaine Boris Champy

Boris Champy has already had a tremendous wine career, having worked for many years at Dominus in California, and most recently at Domaine des Lambrays. In 2019 he bought biodynamic pioneer Didier Montchovet’s domaine in Nantoux, a sweet village in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, just behind Pommard. Boris has continued Didier’s fastidious work in the vineyards, but wasted no time in transforming the winemaking with his first vintage, making wines with a cool, elegant poise. The vineyards have a high elevation, and their cool microclimates are a gift in warm vintages. What’s more, they are mostly planted in high density 10,000 vines/hectare systems, unusual for the Hautes-Côtes where large trellises are the norm. The potential for quality here is huge.
