Pungent nose with a strong varnish and herbal element which is certainly characterful but doesn't seem entirely ripe. The balance is correct though, so perhaps this is a deliberate style? Much more flavour range than the average Bourgogne, for sure. Drinking range: 2018 - 2022 Richard Hemming MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2018)

Rich spicy, black fruit. Smooth and seductive. Rich and juicy and generous. Lots of body and a rich and rounded palate. Soft and rounded...rich finish for a Bourgogne. Hint of black pepper at the end. A rich Bourgogne.Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Nov 2017)

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.
