In 2017, producers of the Burgundy Regional appellation located in the Côtes de Beaune and Nuits obtained the additional designation "Burgundy Côte d'Or," thus becoming a Burgundy identified by regional appellation. Harvested in Marsannay, this white wine has a pale golden yellow color. The nose evokes notes of lemon, almond, and acacia flowers. Identified as a regional appellation. Harvested in Marsannay, this white wine has a pale golden yellow color. The nose evokes notes of lemon, almond, acacia flowers, and hawthorn. The palate expresses a well-coated fruitiness, becoming more salty and lemony on the finish, with hints of licorice and brioche. A delight!

About the estate:
Philippe Huguenot is a pragmatist. Certified organic since 2013, he initiated this process to enable his vines to regain the hardiness he felt they had lost. Mechanical harvesting has also been abandoned. This estate is moving forward and its wines are becoming increasingly elegant with a pleasant fruitiness that appeals from a young age. The improvement in quality has been spectacular over the last few vintages. A man of rare kindness with wines that reflect his personality, he enjoys welcoming customers to his cellar at a time when many others have closed their doors due to commercial success. The quality here is particularly consistent and constant.

About the estate:
Since 1790, ten generations have succeeded one another on this 21-hectare estate, renowned for its Marsannay, Gevrey, and Fixin wines. Philippe Huguenot took over from his father Jean-Louis in 1996 and began converting the vineyard to organic farming (certified in 2013).

About the estate:
Heir to ten generations of winemakers based in Marsannay, Jean-Louis Huguenot, who passed away in 2019, produced technically flawless wines for many years. More discreet, his son Philippe and his wife Valérie have succeeded in giving the wines more personality, without compromising their fundamental qualities. The entire range comprises precise, solid wines, which have regained organic certification since 2019, but overly pronounced aging diminishes the nuances of the terroir's expression with dry finishes. We hope that Philippe Huguenot, now fully in charge, will develop this style further. Major renovation work on the winery and buildings is currently underway.

The palate is full-bodied with perfect acidity that brings freshness. Beautiful golden color. The nose evokes notes of lemon, almond, acacia flowers, and hawthorn.
