The Bourgogne Rouge Les Champans 2022 is a Pinot Noir of character, from the lieu-dit Les Champans on the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. This confidential lieu-dit, planted with vines between 25 and 40 years old, lies on clay-limestone soils that give the wine its characteristic roundness and generous fruit. The Abbaye de Morgeot estate, owned by the Mac Mahon family since the 19th century, cultivates Pinot Noir here with the rigour and respect for terroir that are the hallmarks of great Burgundies.
Vinified after a fully manual harvest and berry-by-berry sorting, this red Burgundy benefits from a 12 to 15 day maceration with gentle pumping over, followed by 10 to 12 months of ageing in oak barrels. This precise vinification, respectful of the fruit, yields a wine that is at once expressive in its youth and gifted with fine ageing potential.
Available in 75cl bottle and 150cl magnum, the Bourgogne Rouge Les Champans is a sharing wine par excellence. The magnum format encourages a slower and more harmonious evolution of the wine, ideal for large gatherings and festive meals with family or friends.
