At the bottom of a combe, but just round the corner and out of the wind, facing due south. It is on a soft, friable, 'tuffeau'-like limestone which is almost chalk. Nicely ripe and opulent. Sunny, rich and full-bodied, really mouthfilling. L&S (Dec 2013)

Dark, rich and satisfying Pinot Noir from the Côte d'Or's most northerly appellation. Deep, bright fruit, toasty, nutty and earthy with a fine underlay of sleek tannins. Rating: 90 The Wine Gang - www.thewinegang.com (Oct 2017)

Clove, ripe cherry, strawberry - crunchy and tight and satisfying, with primary fruit flavour that is just starting to transform into something more earthy. Very promising. Drinking range: 2019 - 2029 Rating: 17 Richard Hemming MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jul 2017)

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.
