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-three hectares before handing over the reins, and Philippe has taken the bold step of taking all twenty-three hectares into organic production (the conversion was completed in 2010).
Clearly Philippe's arrival has also been accompanied by a qualitative jump of some size, and the wines are remarkable for value as well.

Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Bright and open, with a mildly rooty note on the nose which quickly passes with a little aeration, and this is good to go from now, expressive with a fine core of brightly defined positive Côte de Nuits Pinot fruit.
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
From a vineyard in the middle of the village, which faces due south and always makes a sunny style, a white oolitic soil, firmly defined smoky, dark black-cherry style fruit. Mouthfilling, satisfying and long.
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Firmly defined black-cherry fruit, sappy weight on palate, tastes ripe with no overripeness - perfectly pitched, precise, long.
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Despite the name there's more clay and less calcareous, deeper soils than in Marsannay, and one senses it at once in the deep smoothness of texture. Vinous and rich. Rich tangy dark fruit, at once powerful and racy.
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Level with the centre of Gevrey at the bottom of the village. A lovely combination of straight Gevrey cassis and a slight tautening from a stony edge. Juicy, more-ish, with a chalky finesse.
