About the estate:
Philippe Huguenot is a pragmatist. Certified organic since 2013, he embarked on this journey 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 charms 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 his 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 managed 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 of his vineyard to organic farming (certified in 2013).

Wine rated (2021 guide) 90/100
Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the wine:
A slightly toasty nose, ripe fruit with subtle citrus notes; overall quite balanced, though it lacks a bit of aromatic depth.
About the estate:
A descendant 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 pronounced aging styles diminish the nuances of the terroir’s expression, resulting in dry finishes. We hope that Philippe Huguenot, now fully in charge, will evolve this style. Major renovations to the winery and buildings are currently underway.
