If you are looking for small production, truly hand-made wine from vine to bottle, look no further than this stunning white from husband and wife team Jean-Marc and Anne-Marie Vincent. Layers of cool climate fruit, crisp pear and green apple, are married with a splash of new oak in this gorgeous organically-farmed bottling.
Anne-Marie and Jean-Marc Vincent inherited most of their vines, principally located in and around the village of Santenay in the southern Côte de Beaune, from Jean-Marc's grandfather, André Bardollet-Bravard. They produce three premier cru reds and two premier cru whites from Santenay, in addition to a red and a white Auxey-Duresses. The Vincent wines are characterized by rich, layered fruit, intense expression of individual terroir, and solid structure. The Vincents' wine operation is a family affair and A-M and J-M split their time between the vineyards, cellars and their young children. Their miniscule production always sells out quickly to a small group of devoted clients. All of their wines are a testament to the importance of vigneron talent in a given appellation. While a great vigneron can make over-achievers from any appellation, a great appellation will never be great in the hands of mediocrity. William Kelley of the Wine Advocate said “This small but exceptional five-hectare Santenay domaine is one of the Côte de Beaune’s finest and deserves to be much better known.
