Champon is one of Clusel-Roch’s most elegant parcels—north-facing, high on the slope, and planted to old massale-selection serine clones that bring extra aromatic lift and finesse. The domaine’s style is resolutely traditional: organic farming, whole-cluster fermentation, minimal new oak. Everything here is about preserving the nuance of site and grape.
In 2022, a warm and generous vintage, Champon remains composed. The wine opens with violet, black pepper, and red berry notes—light on its feet but with plenty of tension underneath. There’s texture and depth, but the fruit stays fresh, and the structure is built more on acidity and finely woven tannins than overt extraction.
Drink it young with a decant to catch its floral energy, or cellar it for a decade as it unfurls. For lovers of Syrah that whispers rather than shouts, Clusel-Roch’s Champon is a quietly compelling expression of Côte-Rôtie.
