Under the leadership of talented winemakers like Benjamin Leroux and now Paul Zinetti, the domaine emphasises minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the cellar. Hand-harvesting, natural fermentations, and careful oak aging create wines that balance power, elegance, and precision, with remarkable aging potential and complexity.
Pommard Premier Cru Clos des Épeneaux, the flagship wine of the estate, is celebrated for its intensity, structure, and ability to age for decades. It exhibits aromas of dark fruits, spices, and earthy undertones, with a powerful yet refined palate.
Volnay and Auxey-Duresses: These wines offer a more accessible but equally compelling glimpse into the domaine's craftsmanship, with vibrant fruit, silky tannins, and a fresh, mineral-driven profile.
What the critics say:
"Darker centre to the colour in the middle. 50% new wood. Shows a bit on the nose but otherwise a decent concentration of darker berried fruit. A few tannins present on the palate, but overall more coherent and much more persistent than the village wine, indeed a lovely aftertaste on alpine strawberry and fresh cherry. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Nov 2024 ****"
"The 2023 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru offers more perfume and florality than the Village Cru, with violet-infused black cherry and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, a creamy texture and a plush, precocious character, finishing with a note of sweet cassis. This will be difficult to resist in its youth."
