Founded in 1720 by Edme Champy, the Maison Champy (formerly Champy Père et Cie) was the first ever Wine House established in Burgundy - documents still exist recording the first exports to Belgium shortly after the creation of the company. Some of the cellars owned by the company in Beaune date from the 15th century.

Champy gained a new dynamism in 1990 when it was acquired by Henri and Pierre Meurgey and Pierre Beuchet. All three men are associate directors of DIVA (a distribution company closely connected with the greatest vineyards and estates in Burgundy) and can rely on the wealth of experience of Henri Meurgey, who has been oenologist winemaker and wine-broker for 35 years.
