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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"301041 - Select Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42700318638167,"sku":"874374","price":365.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/Champy-Clos-de-Vougeot-Grand-Cru-2013.jpg?v=1776192633","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/champy-clos-de-vougeot-grand-cru-2013","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
