The 2022 Domaine Boris Champy Pommard En Boeuf is a refined expression of Pinot Noir from the prestigious Burgundy region. This wine hails specifically from the Cote de Beaune's Pommard appellation, an area known for producing robust and structured reds. As is typical for wines from this region, it is bottled under cork closure.

The wine has garnered strong praise from professional reviewers, particularly for its complex nose and balanced palate. Neal Martin from Vinous rated the wine between 90 and 92 points, noting its maturation in 50% new oak with 70% whole bunches. He describes the nose as "quite floral, with dried rose petals infusing the cranberry and wild strawberry fruit," highlighting its fine mineralité. Martin also comments on its "medium-bodied" nature, with "sappy red fruit" and a firm grip that is not excessive. He suggests allowing the wine 18 months in bottle to smooth out its edges, indicating its potential for further development.

James Suckling awarded this wine a commendable 94 points, emphasizing its "deep savory and rooty nose plus a touch of candied oranges and coconut." He praises the substantial yet plush tannins and the velvety texture on the medium-bodied palate. Suckling notes that the wine's power and concentration are subtly underplayed until the "positively firm finish." He also provides an interesting tidbit about the wine's name, explaining that "En Boeuf" refers to the vineyard's proximity to the forest above, rather than any connection to beef. Additionally, this wine is produced from biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification, matured in used barrels, and left unfiltered, reflecting a commitment to natural winemaking practices. Suckling advises that while the wine is drinkable now, it will be best enjoyed from 2025 onwards.

In summary, the 2022 Domaine Boris Champy Pommard En Boeuf stands out for its floral and fruit-infused nose, firm yet balanced structure, and potential for aging. Both reviewers highlight its biodynamic origins and suggest that it will only improve with a bit more time in the bottle.
