Based in Comblanchien, Antoine Lienhardt is quietly redefining the potential of this overlooked corner of the Côte de Nuits. Convinced the village’s finest sites rival neighbouring Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Crus, he crafts wines that showcase a striking mineral precision and energy, challenging the limits of the Côte de Nuits Villages appellation. Working with old vines (60–80 years) planted by his grandfather, alongside select parcels from trusted growers, Antoine farms organically and biodynamically, with a deep commitment to soil health and vineyard life. In the cellar, his approach is equally gentle: whole-bunch fermentation, short macerations, no sulphur during vinification, and careful ageing in barrel or cement, with minimal sulphur added only at bottling.The result is a range of wines defined by purity, vibrancy and finesse, energetic, expressive Burgundies that offer remarkable value and a compelling glimpse of Comblanchien’s untapped potential.
A classic yet vibrant expression of Nuits-Saint-Georges, this Pinot Noir opens with notes of dark cherry, blackcurrant, and a touch of tobacco and spice. The palate is structured and precise, with firm but refined tannins, bright acidity, and a driving mineral backbone. Focused and energetic, it finishes long and stony, capturing both the depth and freshness of the vintage.
