The estate : Located in Marsannay-la-Côte, the Huguenot family has been passionately cultivating vines since the 19th century. The history of the estate truly took off in 1947 with Roger and Marguerite Huguenot-Quillardet, who laid the foundations of the family business. In 1968, their son Jean-Louis took over the vineyards and became the first to market the wines directly in bottles. Then, in 1993, Philippe Huguenot continued the adventure and in turn expressed all the richness of the Fixin, Marsannay, and Gevrey-Chambertin terroirs. Since 2013, the 23 hectares have been managed using organic farming. The estate's red and white wines stand out for their elegance, pure fruit, and precise aging, perfectly revealing the finesse of the Côte de Nuits climates. A very reliable Burgundy to absolutely discover !
