Domaine Huguenot - Bourgogne Côte d'Or rouge 2018
90/100
RVF
“Ripe, dense, and juicy fruit; a fairly vigorous body, supported by precise and juicy tannins. This is a serious wine that will benefit from some aging. ” (La Revue du Vin de France – June 2021). The red “Bourgogne Côte d’Or,” harvested in the town of Marsannay, displays suppleness and delicacy, with fine tannins and a pulpy, fruity body that flows into a fresh and light finish. A superb value!

Its freshness and fruity notes will brighten up your aperitifs when paired with a mixed platter of cold cuts and cheeses, a gourmet salad, and a warm open-faced sandwich of your own creation. Follow that with grilled poultry, white meat, or roast beef, served with a variety of vegetables. Light, soft cheeses will also complement it perfectly. You can round out your meal with a cheesecake topped with fresh raspberries.

About the estate:
Philippe Huguenot is a pragmatist. Certified organic since 2013, he adopted this approach to help his vines regain the hardiness he felt they had lost. Mechanical harvesting has also been phased out. This estate is moving forward, and its wines are becoming increasingly elegant, with a pleasant fruitiness that is appealing even in their early years; the improvement in quality has been spectacular over the past few vintages. A man of rare kindness whose wines reflect his character, he enjoys welcoming guests to the cellar at a time when many others have closed their doors in the face of commercial success. The quality here is particularly consistent and reliable.

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 the transition to organic farming (certified in 2013).

About the wine:
Ripe, dense, and juicy fruit; a fairly vigorous body, supported by precise, juicy tannins. This is a serious wine that will benefit from some aging.
About the estate:
The heir to a lineage of some ten generations of winemakers based in Marsannay, Jean-Louis Huguenot, who passed away in 2019, produced technically flawless wines for many years. His son Philippe and his wife Valérie, who are more low-key, have succeeded in giving the wines more personality without compromising their fundamental qualities. The entire range features precise and robust wines, which have regained organic certification since 2019; however, overly assertive aging styles diminish the nuances of terroir expression, resulting in dry finishes. We hope that Philippe Huguenot, now fully in charge, will evolve this style. Major renovation work on the winery and buildings is currently underway.

A pure Pinot Noir that highlights the fruit and its distinctive character, with great length. Magnificent!
