Launay-Horiot
"There was occasionally a clarity that reminded me of Armand Rousseau" Neal Martin on Domaine Launay Horiot
Owned by ex-Air Force pilot Xavier Horiot, this family-run domaine has been operating in Pommard since the 18th century. Though relegated to obscurity for a generation, it has been revived by the current owner and his wine, and presently there are few producers in the region more modern and compelling than Launay-Horiot. With vines in the best crus of the Côte de Beaune as well as some limited Grands Crus from the Nuits, this is a sterling range of wines from a producer that rapidly on the ascent.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)
(5 Star Wine) Not too deep in colour, with rather a stylish perfumed raspberry fruit. Light fresh acidity, behind the beautifully balanced fruit, a few tannins too, but the fruit stretches out wonderfully behind them. The benefit of ancient vines is clear to see. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted: November 2023.HK$8,800.00
