Maison Champy 2008 Pinot Noir (Mazis-Chambertin)
Dark colored, highly perfumed wine, packing rich fruit with its ripe, chunky structure. Black berries give a juicy character, taming the acidity, and allowing the wood smoke to wreath around the wine. Age for at leasy six years, but this can withstand more.

Maison Champy 2006 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)
- $130
Showing the typical power of Corton-Charlemagne, this is a classic wine that offers full-on fruit allied to a strong wood element. It is rich and bold, flavored with white fruits, apricots, almonds and spice. While it is drinkable now, it would certainly repay cellaring for 3–4 years.

Maison Champy 2006 Pinot Noir (Mazis-Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
- $125
A dense, almost heavy wine, with smoky, licorice flavors that dominate the fruit. It is firm, big, solid, the sort of wine that demands attention with its concentration and powered structure. It may need time for aging, but already the power and weight are there.

Maison Champy 2006 Pinot Noir (Echézeaux)
- $150
A big bruiser of a wine. It is easy to love the firm, complex structure allied with beautifully ripe, sweet fruit flavors. The wine is rich and powerful, but there are so many things going on here, from the intense tannins to the smoky black finish.

Maison Champy 2008 Les Cazetiers Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
The steep Cazetiers vineyard is among the best of Gevrey’s Premier Crus. This is a robust wine that can take all the wood thrown at it and still come back tasting of sweet plums and fresh raspberries. The tannins, with their smoky character, shine right through the heart of the wine.

Maison Champy 2010 Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)
Champy only makes two barrels of this wine. It’s finely concentrated, and it has solid tannins and rich, powerful black-plum and cherry flavors. Keep it for at least 8–9 years.

Maison Champy 2006 Les Chalumeaux Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- Editors' Choice
A wine that brings out all the minerality of Puligny. That makes it taut and structured but at the same time the fruit element plays a vital part. With citrus and apple skin, layered with fresh green plums, this is both complex and deliciously fruity. The vanilla flavors from wood aging round out the wine.
