From Burgundy’s new-wave négociant talent, Arnaud Baillot sources fruit from trusted growers and keeps the cellar work minimal, relying on native fermentations and older barrels to preserve lift and detail. “Le Montagne” comes from cooler, higher-elevation parcels just west of the Côte, where Pinot Noir stays bright and tensioned.The 2023 shows red cherry, raspberry, and subtle spice with fine, chalk-edged tannins and a clean, mineral finish. Silky and pure without any heaviness — a quietly serious Bourgogne Rouge that punches above its category. A sharp under-$50 option for Burgundy drinkers who want freshness and clarity.
