2024 Maison Champy Chablis 750 ml

The 2024 Maison Champy Chablis is the kind of wine that reminds you why this small, cool-climate corner of northern Burgundy has its own appellation, its own identity, and its own devoted following. There's nothing quite like great Chablis—that razor-edged minerality, that citrus-driven intensity, that sense of place so vivid you can almost feel the limestone beneath your feet. This one has all of it.

The fruit comes from one of the grandest domaines in Chablis—a producer with coveted holdings and a reputation built over generations. We're bound by a confidentiality agreement. What we can tell you is that wines from this estate routinely trade for multiples of what you're paying here, and that access to this fruit required exactly the kind of longstanding relationships that most houses simply don't have.

Maison Champy has those relationships. They've been earning them since 1720.

Founded by Edmé Champy in Beaune, the house is the oldest wine company in Burgundy. They operate as both vineyard owner and négociant, with 21 hectares of organically farmed vines across the Côte de Beaune, touching many of the villages that define the region's white wine canon.

The house itself is a monument—their building designed in the architectural style of Gustave Eiffel, its foundations running into 15th-century cellars that once belonged to a Jacobin convent. Louis Pasteur, a personal friend of fourth-generation proprietor Claude Champy, set up a laboratory on the premises in the 1860s. The research conducted there eventually gave the world pasteurization.

Today, oenologist Dimitri Bazas leads the winemaking, bringing the same precision that has defined Champy for three centuries. His hand is evident in this Chablis—a wine that wears its origins proudly, with none of the richness or oak influence you'd expect from a Côte de Beaune white.

What's in the glass is pure northern Burgundy: pale gold and luminous, with aromas of white flowers, Amalfi lemon peel, crisp green apple, and crushed limestone. The mouthfeel is taut and mineral-driven, with a focused acidity that runs clean through the finish. Pair it with oysters, roast chicken, or nothing at all.
