This Maison Champy Beaune Vieilles Vignes is a silky, medium-bodied Burgundy Pinot Noir, with a delightful ruby hue.Its nose is initially a little reticent but after a few minutes in glass reveals aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry, and violets. On the palate, it has deep red fruit flavors, with a hint of earthy minerality and a subtle hint of spice and oak. The finish is medium, with a pleasing and elegant balance supported by the tannins and core of fresh acidity.
