This is Antoine’s finest single vineyard wine, and his largest parcel, unusually planted north to south in a prime location on a gentle, 20% east-facing slope with a shallow topsoil and deep limestone below. The vines are between 50-70yo, and the wine was given a 10 months élevage in 1-7yo barrels. A beautiful limpid colour, throughout there are lovely, tart red fruit tones that are open to interpretation: redcurrant, blackberry, tart cherry. It’s almost beside the point because each whiff, every sip, seems different. Around the edges, the wine’s aromas also recall spring (peonies) and autumn leaves at different intervals. But it is the exuberant acidity, delicate and playful tannins, and fierce saline minerality on the finish that make this wine so refreshing, enjoyable and impeccably versatile at the table.

Antoine Lienhardt is one of the most exciting growers in Burgundy today. He makes tiny quantities of deliciously high-toned, lifted, profoundly soulful wines that speak confidently of their terroir.

The brightness and verve of Antoine’s wines are paving a path for the future of Burgundy. At the nexus of natural winemaking and legendary terroir, it’s no wonder he’s gained an almost-rabid following by those in the know. 

Through his focus in the vineyard, Antoine brings to life his belief that the under-celebrated terroir of his home village (the southernmost in the Côte de Nuits) ranks with the nearby Grand Crus. We are inclined to agree.

Antoine’s delicate approach delivers red wines with ripe, resonant, pure Pinot fruit balanced by electric acidity, weightless drive, and cooling mineral verve.
