Vintage Character Domaine Boris Champy Bourgogne Rouge 'Le Petit Aigle' 2022 is a Bourgogne Rouge Pinot Noir from Burgundy, drawn from high-altitude sites around Nantoux in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. The 2022 vintage is widely regarded as strong in Burgundy: a warm, dry growing season delivered generous ripeness, while the freshness retained in these elevated vineyards helps keep the wine bright and finely balanced. That altitude, together with limestone-rich soils and a cooler exposure than the Côte’s lower slopes, gives this wine a more lifted, airy expression of Pinot Noir, with clarity, tension, and notable finesse for its level.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The nose opens on red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, and redcurrant, followed by violet, rose petal, and a light touch of spice and forest floor. On the palate, it is supple and energetic, with silky tannins, lively acidity, and a juicy core of crunchy red fruit framed by subtle earthy nuance and discreet oak influence. The finish is precise and refreshing rather than heavy, making it an especially versatile red at the table. Try it with roast chicken and thyme, duck rillettes on toasted country bread, or seared tuna with sesame.
Winery Background Domaine Boris Champy is one of the most compelling modern names in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, rooted in the pioneering biodynamic work begun at this address by Didier Montchovet and carried forward under Boris Champy from 2019. Champy, whose career includes senior roles in Burgundy and Napa Valley, farms with certified organic and Demeter biodynamic principles, prioritising biodiversity, living soils, and hand-harvesting. In the cellar, the approach is restrained and terroir-led, using gentle extraction and careful élevage to preserve purity and site transparency. What sets the domaine apart is its serious commitment to high-altitude Burgundy, where freshness, precision, and environmental stewardship come together in a distinctive house style.
