Under the management of Bernard Bouvier, the estate of Régis Bouvier, his brother, now adheres to organic principles. Focusing on Marsannay, an underrated appellation in the northern Côtes de Nuits, Bernard emphasizes producing high-value wines. The reds showcase silky and delicate tannins, while the whites exude energy.
Les Longerois, a premier site in Marsannay, yields supple and intricate wines. Harvested from 70-year-old vines in clay-dominated soils, the grapes must ripen fully to achieve exceptional tannins. The wine presents complex aromas of blueberry, cherry, hibiscus flowers, fresh hazelnut, and white pepper. Medium to full-bodied, it features smooth tannins and a long, fresh finish with hints of licorice.
