2023 Coteaux Bourguignons, Domaine Boris Champy

2023 Coteaux Bourguignons, Domaine Boris Champy

This is a new addition to the list in 2023: we just couldn’t resist. It’s made from old vine Gamay grown on the steep slopes of Nantoux (true to its name, unlike many other Coteaux Bourguignons which are grown on the flat plains on the other side of the route nationale). It was vinified with 50% whole-bunch fruit, gently handled in the cellar with low extraction. Some of the vines are ninety-years-old, and the concentration and kick this gives to the wine is notable. It’s gorgeous: juicy, fruit-forward, and joyful. Don’t miss this little rocket.

Tasting notes

Short maceration, 9 days, less whole bunch used for this high altitude gamay. Bright pink ruby. The bouquet has cherry fruit with darker edges and notable acidity, but it all hangs together. Saline as well as peppery to finish. A ** restaurant in Pau recommends this with their duck dish, but I would be pretty comfortable with a late spring barbecue. Drink from 2025-2027. Tasted Oct 2024.
