Description

South of the Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet is famous for its prestigious white wines, for which its mainly brown limestone soil is best suited. The Premiers Crus whites are spread over 70 ha of vineyards, divided into 22 different areas producing about 3,300 hl a year. “Les Chenevottes” is in an ideal location, next to Montrachet Grand Cru.

Estate

Maison Champy is the oldest wine company in Burgundy boasting a history dating back to 1720. Maison Champy owns 52 acres of vineyards. The prized vineyards owned by Champy, are farmed organically in order to showcase the true character of the terroir in the wines. The winery, which has been declared a historic monument by UNESCO, was designed by the famed architect, Gustave Eiffel and sits above an ancient 15th-century Jacobin monk cellar, where the wines are aged in the heart of Beaune. It was at Maison Champy where renowned scientist, Louis Pasteur set up a laboratory and developed the pasteurization method. When Pasteur published his findings, he gave special thanks to fourth-generation Beaune wine merchant, Claude Champy. Pasteur’s laboratory equipment can still be seen today when visiting the Maison.
