Very purple and bight, showing very youthful side. Quite a heady high-toned fruit, but still almost fermentary - brisk and refreshing. L&S (Jan 2013)

Quite dark crimson. Light but very pleasing fruit aromas. Almost black fruits for once! Really quite sweet and luscious. The wine tastes a little less cutting edge than the look of the label but it's very solid and GV. 2014-2018 Rating: 15.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2013)

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.
