François Labet, owner of Château de la Tour in Vougeot, manages the family estate (10 ha in Beaune and Gevrey) with equal talent. He applies the same quality principles: organic farming, non-éraflée harvesting, long ageing (two winters minimum). Far from being the most talked-about domaine, but a wise choice for connoisseurs, according to Bourgogne Aujourd'hui: "to be seized as a matter of urgency, as the quality of the wines has been so consistent for a very long time".
The 2023 vintage in the press:
En Magnum (October 2025): 93/100 "A blend of terroirs from the appellation (including En Justice, Jouise and Les Crais), this straightforward red offers beautiful mineral sensations and a successful balance between structure and accessibility."

Vinous (N.Martin - November 2023): 90-92/100 "The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, a blend of La Justice, Les Crais and La Jouises, has a pleasant mulberry and raspberry scented bouquet, just a hint of lavender/potpourri in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite a "cool" Gevrey-Chambertin with a hint of brine lending sapidity on the finish. Promising."

The 2020 vintage in the press :
Vinous (N.Martin - November 2019): 90-92/100 "The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes actually works well on the nose with pure blackcurrant, raspberry and violet scents on the nose. The palate is sweet and ripe on the entry with crunched redcurrant and cranberry fruit, quite Morey-like in style, with fine susbtance on the finish. Though the Edouard Labet clearly rued having had to de-stem, it greatly enhances this Gervey."

Vinous (N.Martin - November 2019): 88-90/100 "The 2020 Beaune Coucherias 1er Cru [...] has more delineation and purity compared to the Beaune Marconnets, black plum and just a touch of raspberry and iris petal. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, very smooth, maybe th new oak just a little vocal on the finish though that will be subsumed with time. Fine."

If the Georges Roumier estate is one of the best known in the Côte de Nuits, the Laurent Roumier estate shines on the contrary by its discretion. However, Laurent Roumier is one of Georges' grandsons, at the head of a beautiful wine-growing heritage, 12 ha of old vines (40 years old) almost exclusively on Chambolle-Musigny, run without fertilizer or weed killer. His wines know how to be greedy while remaining fine and distinguished, with a skillfully dosed breeding. Most reasonable prices (for the appellation).

Owned by AXA Millésimes since 1987, Domaine de l'Arlot spans 15 hectares between Nuits-Saint-Georges (Prémeaux) and Vosne-Romanée. This is an estate of excellence, producing some of the most intense, precise whites on the Côte de Nuits, as well as dense reds with chiselled structures that are simultaneously fleshy and delicate.
Rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide (from 2026 onwards).
The 2023 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 94/100 “With its vigour, aniseed flavours and unique personality, the Clos de l'Arlot white is a great success.”

Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 91-93/100 “The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Blanc Clos de l'Arlot 1er Cru was taken from tank on the lees before filtration and fining. Aged in 25% new oak, it offers pretty apple blossom, gooseberry and persimmon scents that gradually unfold, though never completely let loose. The palate is well-balanced, with noticeable weight and left on the entry. This is a concentrated white Burgundy, yet Géraldine Godot manages to retain sufficient tension and poise, elongating the finish. Apparently, this bottle had opened up considerably since being uncorcked the previous day. Touch og ginger on the aftertaste. Punchy!”

Vinous (N.Martin - May): 93/100 "The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de l'Arlot Blanc 1er Cru has a more complex bouquet with orange blossom, walnut oil and crushed stone scents that unfurl in the glass. There is a real sense of energy and fine delineation. The palate is beautifully balanced with real intensity and drive; the acidity maintains tension and energy. Wonderful detail and nuance on the finish with touches of hazelnut, chamomile and spices. Long and tender, this is a top-notch...what I thought was Meursault but turns out to be Nuits Saint-Georges!"

Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 94-96/100 “The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Fôrets Saint-Georges 1er Cru was also raised in 40% new oak [Incidentally, 0.6ha will be planted with Chardonnay in 2024]. Slightly deeper in color compared to the Clos de l'Arlot, this has slightly more cohesion and complexity on the nose: dark cherries and crushed stone, a hint of wilted rose petals in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with beautifully integrated new oak, lending this a velvety veneer. It is a little plush yet with equivalent tension and a detailed, slightly piquant finish. This is an outstanding Nuits Saint-Georges from the Domaine.”

Very well-defined. The medium-bodied palate comes armed with a voluptuous entry, almost viscous in texture, intense yet delineated with a gradual build to its sweet and detailed finish. This will require four to five years to open for business, but it is certainly a "serious" Les Suchots with a wonderful spicy edge.”

In 2010, the arrival of Lauriane André (Françoise's daughter-in-law) gave a new impetus to the family estate: 7.5 ha around the famous hill of Corton. This young winemaker had very clear ideas: conversion to biodynamic viticulture (acquired in 2012), limitation of yields, careful sorting of grapes, no yeasting, moderate use of new barrels (30% maximum). The results are already there, the magazine Bourgogne Aujourd'hui having nominated her among the 5 hopefuls of the year 2013, stating "her wines are already among the best that the Côte de Beaune can give". It must be said that her models are Patrick Bize and Jean-François Coche-Dury...
Well done! Lauriane André has been named Burgundy Winemaker of the Year in the Hachette 2023 guide: "Domaine Françoise André has established itself as an essential Côte de Beaune signature".
