Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 17/20 (Reference wine)
Domaine rated (2018 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the wine:
Elegant, well-balanced, classic, an evolution of the estate towards more immediate sobriety, very fine style.
About the domain :
Édouard Labruyère's enthusiasm and determination to position this estate as one of the world's great vintages is unmistakable. His efforts are evident in the vineyard, which has been organically farmed since 1997, in the cellar, where foudres and demi-muids have made their appearance since 2012, and, crucially, in the glass. With its exceptional range of Grands Crus from 22 hectares of vineyards, including 17 hectares in the Côte de Beaune and an exclusive representation of Grands Crus in the Côte de Nuits, this estate has all the attributes to join the elite of the domains Burgundy region.
