For the last 20 years, Dimitri Bazas has managed the technical team with passion and expertise.

Dimitri Bazas

As a wine consultant for a laboratory in Beaune, he provided harvest, wine making and ageing advice for the most prestigious Domaines of the Côte d’Or. He then took over the technical management of Maison Champy with one single mission: to develop the best possible expression of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from each unique terroir in Burgundy, and particularly the Côte de Beaune. He was a major actor in both the vineyard’s expansion to the 21 hectares it owns today, and in the conversion of a large part of the estate to organic farming.

He is assisted by:
