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:
"A gorgeous glowing purple. Heady but balanced and absolutely stunning. Paul Zinetti made up a trial blend using all four cuvees and the press wine, with 50% new wood. He will maybe keep the wine in barrel for a full two years. So completely mouthfilling yet with perfect balance, the tannins are fully ripe, there is the right degree of acidity, and an endlessly long finish. It can cope with its 14.2% alcohol. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2024 ****"
"The 2023 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru was tasted as separate lots as well as the final cuvee assembled in proportion. It represents a normal yield of around 34hl/ha and was matured in 50% new oak. The 2023 has a very attractive and well-defined bouquet with pure raspberry, wild strawberry and pressed iris flower. A little fleshier than expected, the palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. It is not the most complex Clos des Epeneaux I have ever tasted, but it boasts tension, structure and a nice touch of sour cherry on the aftertaste. This deserves three or four years in bottle."
