Maison Champy is the oldest wine company in Burgundy boasting a history dating back to 1720. 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 Jacobian 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. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand harvesting and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a wine with a complex and elegant flavor profile. This wine is characterized by its delicate aromas of red fruit, subtle tannins, and a long, smooth finish, making it a perfect choice for any wine lover looking for a high-quality Burgundy Pinot Noir.
