Antoine Lienhardt, Cote de Nuits-Villages Aux Vignottes, 2023 (Pre-Arrival ETA Late November 2026)

This graceful Pinot Noir from Antoine Lienhardt's prized Aux Vignottes vineyard sits directly across from the celebrated Clos de la Maréchale in Nuits Saint-Georges, separated only by a highway—a geography that shapes its distinctive mineral spine. The clay-limestone soils of Aux Vignottes produce rounder, more fruit-driven wine than its illustrious neighbor while maintaining the structure and saline minerality that defines the Côte de Nuits. Lienhardt took over the family estate in 2011 and earned organic certification in 2019, now farming biodynamically with no added sulfites, whole-cluster fermentation, and no fining or filtration. Elegant and silky with beautiful floral aroma of rose, this wine captures the fourth generation's meticulous approach to terroir.
