Champy Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2013
Champy Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2013 is a prestigious red wine from the Côte de Nuits region in Burgundy, France.
The wine is produced by Maison Champy, Burgundy's oldest wine merchant founded in 1720. Sourced from the iconic 51-hectare walled Clos de Vougeot vineyard—the largest Grand Cru in Burgundy—this wine reflects a terroir first identified by Cistercian monks nine centuries ago. The estate manages its parcels with a commitment to traditional Burgundian expertise, emphasizing the exploration of the vineyard's complex mosaic of clay, chalk, and gravel soils.
Wine Description
This 2013 vintage presents a deep ruby colour and a powerful sensory profile. The nose reveals a complex bouquet of blackcurrant and wild red berries, complemented by floral notes of rose and violet alongside woody aromas of mocha and undergrowth. On the palate, the wine is well-structured and full-bodied, offering an elegant texture with powerful tannins and notes of liquorice. It is characterized by its significant length and a balanced, masculine structure typical of this renowned site.
The wine is 100% Pinot Noir, hand-harvested from vines with an average age of approximately 40 years. The vinification process includes a cold pre-fermentation maceration and 10 to 12 months of aging in oak barrels. To preserve the wine's character, Maison Champy typically uses a measured proportion of new oak, often around 30%. The 2013 vintage typically reaches an ABV of 13.5% and possesses a cellaring potential of 15 to 20 years.
Food Pairing
The robust structure of this Grand Cru makes it an excellent partner for rich meat dishes and roasted game, such as duck breast with mushrooms or rib-eye steak. It also pairs effectively with veal served with morels and savory roasted lamb. For a cheese course, it complements full-flavoured options like Epoisses, soft cheeses, or creamy Brillat-Savarin.
