Maison Champy
Experience a guided wine and cheese tasting at Maison Champy in Beaune, set in the heart of Burgundy. Discover regional flavors in an intimate setting with stunning views of the Hospices de Beaune.
Maison Champy is a historic wine merchant and tasting venue located in the heart of Beaune, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Established in a historic boutique overlooking the Hospices de Beaune, the business operates from 15th-century cellars where visitors can explore vaulted spaces that reflect Burgundy’s winemaking heritage.
Maison Champy offers curated tastings and guided cellar visits focused on Burgundy appellations. Signature experiences include a Dégustation Vins & Fromages pairing—three Burgundy wines matched with regional cheeses—available by reservation on Saturdays; a Visite de nos caves et dégustation that uncovers the house history and presents five signature wines with options for a Premier Cru or a Grand Cru selection; and a Dégustation spéciale tied to the annual Vente des Vins de Hospices de Beaune featuring two white wines and two grand cru reds presented with historical context.
Tours and tastings are delivered with bilingual guidance, accommodating both French and English speakers, and reservations are required for some events. The setting—historic cellars and a boutique with views of the Hospices—provides both authenticity and a sense of place in Burgundy’s wine culture.
Maison Champy’s focus on curated selections, historic premises, and bilingual presentations supports its credibility with visitors seeking informed, regional wine experiences. By combining cellar exploration, structured tastings, and links to the iconic Hospices de Beaune sale traditions, the business offers reliable, place-based wine experiences rooted in Burgundy’s terroir. Reservations are recommended, and the boutique’s central Beaune address makes Maison Champy easy to visit for travelers exploring Burgundy’s vineyards and the Hospices de Beaune and region.
