    Bill,

    Do you have any experience with Champy wines?

    My own experiences were not positive…

    Cheers,
    Will

      Quite the opposite from my side will – certainly 2006 onwards; biodynamic for the whole (domaine) estate and very pretty and transparent wines – even their 06 whites had zip. A long way from the oaky style of the late 90s. Better wines for the buck, or at least my buck than, say, Chanson…

    The few times I have had the Boillot wines, I have really enjoyed them, particularly the 2005s. Hopfully, Champy will make as good a wine from these vines.
