Coudray-Bizot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux 2018 – a rare, small-production Burgundy wine that reflects the character of one of the most prestigious Côte de Nuits terroirs. The boutique estate Coudray-Bizot, renowned for its meticulous attention to traditional methods, has crafted an elegant and refined wine, highly valued by collectors and Burgundy enthusiasts.
The wine opens with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, and blackberries, complemented by subtle notes of forest floor and wild spices. On the palate, it is elegant, medium-bodied, with silky tannins and fresh acidity that provide both balance and aging potential. The finish is long, mineral, and refined.
“Champeaux” is made from ‘Pinot Noir’ grapes grown in the northern part of the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, from vines planted in 1981. The soil consists of clayey sand and limestone, giving the wine its subtle minerality and structural depth.
The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted both in the vineyard and the winery. Fermentation takes place in open vats with native yeasts, followed by 20 months of aging in French oak barrels, about 30% of which are new.
Serve at a temperature of 14-16 °C with roast lamb, duck breast or venison with lingonberry sauce, beef cheeks.
Coudray-Bizot is a historic Burgundy winery located in the famous 15th-century Château David de Beaufort cellars in the city of Beaune.

Discover these rare, expressive, classic-style wines in our assortment and enrich your collection.
The history of Coudray-Bizot is closely linked to Dr. Bizot, a former surgeon at the legendary Hospices de Beaune hospital. Today, the family traditions he started and nurtured are continued by his grandson, Jean-Jacques Coudray-Bizot. The winery strictly adheres to the principles of minimal intervention: utilizing natural fermentation with wild yeasts, aging in oak barrels, and bottling the wines without filtration. This approach allows the authentic terroir characteristics of each vineyard to be maximally revealed, showcasing the true harmony between nature and human craftsmanship.
The producer manages a small but carefully selected portfolio of the highest quality vineyards. Each plot is maintained and cultivated separately to highlight its uniqueness. The most important vineyards of the estate include:
The estate's red wines are produced exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes. They are deep, featuring polished tannins, well-integrated acidity, and complex notes of red berries, spices, and earth. The white wines made from Chardonnay grapes demonstrate Burgundian elegance, mineral precision, and maintain a highly refreshing structure.
Coudray-Bizot employs traditional aging methods – the wines are kept in oak barrels for 18–24 months. To avoid overpowering the natural expression of the grapes, the amount of new oak is kept moderate. Although these wines can provide pleasure even at a young age, the estate's best examples, especially the Grand Cru and Premier Cru, mature perfectly for 10–20 years and longer, acquiring incredible refinement.
