A clos (walled vineyard) of old vines on a steep south-facing slope in Arcenant, above Nuits Saint Georges. Very dark, dense and mineral. Still a little tight but opens up nicely. There is so much here: real punch and aromatic complexity, with a long cherry-skin finish. L&S (Nov 2011)

Restrained on the nose, but juicy, scented, summery red fruit on the palate with an elegant mineral underlay and notably silky tannins. The clos – walled vineyard – is owned by a Belgium family who used to holiday in the region and were so bitten by the Burgundy bug they bought some vines and a house with cellars. We know how they feel, we just haven't got the vineyard. Yet. Rating: 89 The Wine Gang - www.thewinegang.com (Mar 2012)
Domaine de la Douaix
Mark and Gilles Moustie are Belgians, huge fans of wine and in particular Burgundy. The family rented a gite for many years in the Hautes Côtes village of Arcenant, straight up the hill to the west of Nuits Saint Georges, and gently graduated from buying wines at domaines up and down the Côte to wanting to make the wine themselves. Eventually they bought some vines and a house with cellars, and set to.
Most of their wines are all from vines they own, but they do make a little wine from bought-in fruit to supplement what is still a tiny domaine. Mark is Belgium-based, a management consultant, so it is his son Gilles who is hands-on on a daily basis.
