Domaine Boris Champy : Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune "Altitude" 2023

Concentrated and joyful, this is a stunning Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune. The red fruit, wet earth and forest floor complexity expands as it flows over the palate. Already so delicious. Made from grapes from the Bignon and Clos vineyard sites that were fermented together. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

A blend of his plots that are all higher up. Transparent fruit and acidity, with tannins pressed like lead between window panes. Light slivers of off-sweet strawberries and a touch of lime juice. Light and slender. (TC)
