Sinewy and bone dry on the end. Lots of chew on the finish. Still a little severe. Drinking range: 2016 - 2021Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Aug 2015)
Huguenot’s great-value organic burgundies are one of the region’s best kept secrets and increasingly punch well above their weight with polished, elegant wines that have that bit more, leafy, savoury, complexity than their neighbours. Marsannay, the first village in the Côte de Nuits, south of Dijon, is often overlooked but pinot noir here in the right hands and from mature wines can make some dazzling reds just like this one. What you get from Huguenot’s protected, chalky, south-facing Montagne vineyard in this much-fancied vintage is layer after layer of well-balanced, rich, savoury, floral, mocha, beef and game pizazz. Roast partridge, or young grouse, will love this now, or put it away until 2018 and beyond Jane MacQuitty, The Times (Sept 2014)
Floral, wood spice, dry tannins and loads of depth - a wine for the longer haul. Lovely concentration. Brimming with potential. 2015-2030 Rating: 17.5+ Richard Hemming MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2014)
Domaine Huguenot
The Huguenots can trace their history in Marsannay and working in the vines back to 1789. Currently the domaine is run by Philippe. His father Jean-Louis expanded the domaine from five to twenty-two hectares (twelve in Marsannay, six in Fixin, and four in Gevrey) before handing over the reins. Philippe took the bold step of taking the whole domaine into organic production (the conversion was completed in 2010), but immensely sadly he was forced to do a single non-organic treatment in 2016, because of the terrible conditions, so he was back to square one - three years to re-qualify for the organic label. Nevertheless Philippe, although initially unsure if he would try for the certification again was not planning to change the way he works - it is, he assures us, better for him and the environment and and his workers as well as for quality. So he fought his way back, and the wines have been certified organic again since 2019. Philippe now has 23 hectares in production.

Rich volume on the attack, and then the freshness of the vintage comes behind, tightening the tannins on the finish.

Broad flavours. Quite dry. There's good depth of dark berry fruit here but for now it is firm and needs a little time to soften up.
