A great combination of history and tasting of Burgundian wines

5.00Excellent presentation about the long history of this Burgundian producer that was comprehensive and aided by helpful screen that showed the different subregions that Champy works with. The visit to the cellars enabled a deeper dive into that history with bottles dating to the 19th century. The tasting of 2 whites and 3 reds was illuminating and interactive with our guide Daniel. The 10 people was the right number for the tour as well. The whole facility combined the historic nature of the building with its Eiffel iron supports and completely updated architecture/decor.
Our guide Daniel was great and we learned a lot of interesting things.

5.00We had very enjoyable tour and tasting my husband daughter and friend. We were accompanied by another so there plenty space opportunities to ask questions and see the Maison Champy with all its long history. The guide was very good and welcoming and obviously well informed. We very much enjoyed the wines we tasted and we did in fact buy some. This was the first tasting where we paid to taste which we found better than a free tasting where you can feel duty bound to buy some wine even if you were not sure about the wine! 🍷 We would all highly recommend a visit to Maison Champy.

Don't miss the oldest historic cellars!

5.00Thank you Hortence for a great tour. I had no idea @ Louis Pasteur and Gustave Eiffel's connection to Champy! See/learn about what's surrounding Beaune and below your feet in this lovely town. The tasting is accompanied by an appellation map and a thorough description of the Burgundy wine region and what you are drinking. You have time to look at the historical documents and enjoy a delightful tour right in the heart of Beaune. Highly recommend.

5.00This tour was fantastic and very interesting. Learn/see about the Champy connection to Gustave Eiffel and Louis Pasteur, and how burgundy wines used to be solely for religious use and were opened up to the world. Loads of history and good tasting to follow with a large map of the area showing you appellation, ratings, and you leave with a great overview of the wines of Burgundy. You also get to see what's underground the lovely town of Beaune.
A must-see in Beaune

5.00We had a great time at Maison Champy this weekend! The visit was really interesting, and our passionate Clemence guide made the experience even more enjoyable. The tasting at the end was a real pleasure. We were then greeted in the shop by Daniel, who knows wines at his fingertips and gave us excellent advice. We left delighted, with some very good bottles to enjoy.
