Domaine Coudray-Bizot’s Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Champeaux 2017 comes from a steep, stony slope on the northern end of the appellation, a site defined by thin, iron-tinged clay over limestone. Old-vine Pinot Noir naturally sets modest yields here, and Jean-Jacques Coudray works with traditional fermentations and measured élevage to preserve the vineyard’s character.
The wine opens with red berry fruit, forest floor and gentle spice, along with a faint graphite note that reflects the stony hillside. The palate is firm but refined, shaped by fine tannins and a mineral line that carries the wine through a long, composed finish. This is a thoughtful expression of Champeaux, structured for aging yet already showing the balance and transparency that make 2017 such an appealing vintage.
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru “Champeaux,” Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Farming: Traditional, minimal-intervention practices
Style: Red. Structured, detailed and cellar-worthy
