This Beaune 1er cru les Coucherias from the domaine Boris Champy is a superb Burgundy. In this fine 2020 vintage, the wine develops cherry and licorice notes on the nose supported by a light woody touch. The palate is greedy and silky: it reveals a generous body on red and black fruit aromas. Fresh finish.
At altitude, in the hills and valleys of the Hautes-Côtes, Domaine Boris Champy practices viticulture that's a little out of step with that of the great wine-growing coast. The plots are islands of biodiversity, with multiple enclosures, trees, hedges, walls, meurgers and fruit trees. Boris knows that a holistic approach is needed, that of a global ecosystem in agroecology, intimately respectful of the environment.
