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.

The Clos Blanc is a small, walled Premier Cru parcel situated on the Volnay side of Pommard, high on the slope where soils are thinner and rich in limestone with clay beneath. This elevated position and clos exposure bring more tension and finesse than many lower-lying Pommard sites, giving wines with lifted aromatics, mineral grip and excellent ageing potential.

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.
