" This producer's best red wine is impressive. Fragrant, mellow, and ripe, yet still acidic, this oak-aged wine is elegant and spicy. Ripe tannins hold the wine together and give it the structure to support its richness. Drink now." (Wine Enthusiast)

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Constantly improving, the Roblin brothers offer wines of great consistency, produced from a 17-hectare vineyard, mainly spread over white soil terroirs, but also in the hillside areas of Maimbray and Sury-en-Vaux. This is an estate where there are many good value wines.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rating (2019 guide) 2 stars (Outstanding wine)

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)

About wine:

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

About the estate:

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 covers 19 hectares and is cultivated using "sustainable farming methods with a focus on organic practices."
