From the northern reaches of Côte-Rôtie, Champon is one of Clusel-Roch’s most delicate and high-toned lieux-dits. The family has long championed organic farming and traditional methods—whole-cluster fermentation, minimal extraction, and aging in mostly older barrels. In the cooler, classic 2021 vintage, the results are especially vivid and pure.

The wine opens with a breeze of violet, black raspberry, cracked pepper, and olive tapenade. On the palate, it’s sleek and savory—medium-bodied with lifted acidity, fine tannins, and a long, stony finish. There’s an almost Pinot-like grace to the structure, but the aromatics are unmistakably Northern Rhône Syrah.

Drink now with a decant or cellar for a decade. Perfect with roast duck, charred eggplant, or lentils with rosemary. Champon 2021 is Côte-Rôtie in a quieter register—refined, transparent, and full of soul.

More about Clusel-Roch

Guillaume Clusel continues a family legacy that began in 1969 on the steep granite slopes of Ampuis. His six hectares of Syrah in Côte-Rôtie are farmed organically; his half-hectare of Viognier in Condrieu sits on biotite granite and yields wines of mineral precision. Whole-bunch fermentation and natural practices preserve the fragrance. This is Northern Rhône doing what it does best.
