Likened to Armand Rousseau by Neal Martin and one to watch, rising star Xavier Horiot's reclamation of Domaine Launay-Horiot must be one of the most remarkable stories in the Côte d’Or. These are absolutely up there with the best red Burgundies being produced in Pommard and Chambertin.

From the Volnay side of Pommard, just below Rugiens-Bas, this tends to be one of Launay-Horiot's bolder cuvées with excellent Pommard typicity. There is always great concentration and power, yet the whole act remains impeccably balanced and sophisticated.

What the critics say:

90-93/100 ****Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

"Dense mid purple. Another quite ripe bouquet, deep raspberry and sun-dried cherries. More tannins in the mouth, hiding the finish. Dense dark fruit, again a style which is outside the usual 2024 parameters. A very long, savoury finish. Drink from 2030-2035. Tasted Nov 2025. *4/5 stars*"

OUR GROWERS

Domaine Launay-Horiot

Tasting the wines at Launay-Horiot always leaves you scratching your head. There is a sense of symmetry and majesty in the Pinot Noir here that implies the kind of wisdom passed down over many generations, yet the domaine's debut vintage was somehow only in 2014?

Allen Meadows wondered in 2015 whether "beginner's luck" was at play for fighter pilot turned Burgundian Xavier Horiot, though with nine vintages under his belt and each arguably more impressive than the last, there is no question that domaine's success is the result of a rare and instinctive genius.
