Red Wine: 1945 | Champy | Clos de Vougeot

This is a very rare bottle of Clos de Vougeot 1945, a historical vintage which coincided with the end of World War II. The summer was hot and dry with only the occasional rain at the right moments. The resulting wines are incredibly scarce now due to the small crop and post-war demand.

Producer Information

Maison Champy is the oldest wine company in Burgundy boasting a history dating back to 1720. Maison Champy owns 52 acres of vineyards. The prized vineyards owned by Champy, are farmed organically in order to showcase the true character of the terroir in the wines. The winery, which has been declared a historic monument by UNESCO, was designed by the famed architect, Gustave Eiffel and sits above an ancient 15th-century Jacobin monk cellar, where the wines are aged in the heart of Beaune. It was at Maison Champy where renowned scientist, Louis Pasteur set up a laboratory and developed the pasteurization method. When Pasteur published his findings, he gave special thanks to fourth-generation Beaune wine merchant, Claude Champy. Pasteurs laboratory equipment can still be seen today when visiting the Maison.
