“This producer’s best red wine—it’s impressive. Fragrant, smooth, and ripe, yet still with good acidity, this oak-aged wine is elegant and spicy. The ripe tannins hold the wine together and provide the structure to support its richness. Drink now.” (Wine Enthusiast)

Rated estate (2026 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

The Roblin brothers, whose reputation continues to grow, produce wines of consistently high quality from a 17-hectare vineyard, located primarily on white-soil terroirs but also on the hillsides of Maimbray and Sury-en-Vaux. This estate offers excellent value for the money.
Hachette Wine Guide

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (2019 guide) 2*Stars (Outstanding Wine)

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

Aeration dissipates the animal notes perceived on the initial nose. This reveals lovely aromas of cooked fruit (strawberry, fig) and a hint of caramel. From the very first sip, the palate offers a full-bodied texture in harmony with fine, well-distributed tannins that carry the finish well into the aftertaste.

About the estate:

In 2000, Matthias Roblin took over this family estate, whose origins date back to the 18th century. His brother Émile joined him six years later. The vineyard covers 19 hectares and is managed using “sustainable farming practices with an organic focus.”
