Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune "Bignon 421" (note the slight name change since last year) received only one bit of sulphur in June and Champy relies on reduction to protect the wine. Matured in 500-litre barrels, this was slightly reduced on the nose when I tasted it with Boris Champy, but there is clearly fine concentration here. The palate is well balanced with lightly spiced, pretty red fruit on the entry. Harmonious, silky smooth with cranberry and wild strawberry on the finish, this is a lovely Hautes-Côtes but it will need 12-18 months in bottle.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 25 Aug 22
The 2020 Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Altitude 421 Bignon is living up to its fine showing from barrel, bursting with scents of red berries, plums, cinnamon, raw cocoa and sweet spices. Medium-bodied, lively and ethereal, it's lively and fine-boned, with melting tannins and a saline finish.
Drinking Date: 2021 - 2033
Bourgogne Fine Wine

Bourgogne

Bourgogne AOC represents the entry-level wines of Burgundy, offering a taste of the region's winemaking traditions. These wines, primarily made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, cover a broad area from Chablis to Beaujolais. Red wines are light to medium-bodied with red berry flavours and earthy notes, while the whites are crisp and mineral-driven with green apple and citrus. Accessible and versatile, Bourgogne AOC wines are an excellent introduction to Burgundy. Notable producers include Joseph Drouhin, Louis Jadot, and Bouchard Père et Fils.
