Vintage Character Domaine Boris Champy Bourgogne Blanc "Le Petit Aigle" 2022 is a Chardonnay from the Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, a cooler, elevated sector of Burgundy that gives whites with energy and mineral precision. The 2022 vintage is widely regarded as strong in Burgundy: a warm, generous growing season delivered ripe fruit, while fresher conditions at higher altitude helped preserve tension and lift. Sourced from the hills around Nantoux, this cuvée reflects the Hautes-Côtes’ distinctive combination of limestone-rich soils, cooler exposures and airy vineyard sites, all of which shape a white Burgundy of brightness rather than weight.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The wine opens with vivid aromas of green apple, lemon zest, white peach and white flowers, followed by hints of almond and wet stone. On the palate it is dry, medium-bodied and finely etched, with crisp acidity carrying orchard fruit and citrus into a chalky, saline finish with a gentle touch of lees-derived creaminess. Its combination of freshness and texture makes it especially appealing at the table; pair it with roast chicken and tarragon, trout meunière, or a simple plate of sushi or sashimi.
Winery Background Domaine Boris Champy is one of the most compelling newer names in Burgundy’s Hautes-Côtes, built on the foundations of the area’s first Demeter-certified biodynamic estate. Boris Champy, whose experience includes senior roles at leading estates in Burgundy and Napa Valley, farms the domaine with a strong focus on biodiversity, organic and biodynamic methods, and careful hand-harvesting. In the cellar, the aim is transparency over makeup: gentle pressing, measured élevage with lees contact and restrained oak influence preserve site expression. That combination of high-altitude fruit, climate-aware viticulture and serious Burgundian expertise gives the domaine its distinctive identity.
