" The best red wine from this producer, it's impressive. Fragrant, mellow and ripe but still with acidity, the wood-aged wine is elegant and spicy. The ripe tannins hold the wine together, and give it the structure supporting the richness. Drink now. (Wine Enthusiast)

Domaine rated (guide 2026) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

Steadily progressing, the Roblin brothers offer wines of great consistency from a 17-hectare vineyard, spread mainly over the terres blanches terroirs, but also in the hillside areas of Maimbray and Sury-en-Vaux. It's an estate that offers excellent value for money.

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

Domaine noté (guide 2026) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

Aeration dissipates the animal touches perceived on the first nose. Beautiful aromas of cooked fruit (strawberry, fig) and a hint of caramel are revealed. From the outset, the palate presents a fleshy texture in harmony with fine, well-distributed tannins that carry through to the finish.

About the domain :

Matthias Roblin took over this family estate, whose origins date back to the 18th century, in 2000. His brother Émile joined him six years later. The vineyard extends over 19 hectares, which are cultivated "using integrated farming methods with an organic bias".
