About

Etienne’s work embodies the spirit of the age. He was raised in the love for vineyards and great wines and he shows a great maturity in his vision despite his young age. More than ever he can implement high quality winegrowing with the support of enthusiasts from all over the world.

This estate is paradigmatic for traditional family farming. The family stands firmly for 5 generations in the earth of Côte-de-Nuits among aristocrats and magnates. The wise farmer vision of the members, linked with long-term respectful commercial policy, is the secret recipe for success. - Winery Website

Tasting Notes

Firm reduction flattens the nose at present. The sleek and tension-filled middleweight flavors possess a relatively finely textured mid-palate that contrasts with the mildly rustic and austere finale. This impressively long effort could also use better depth but that is almost certain to develop. A quality Nuits villages.
