Goedhuis, December 2023
A perfumed scent of wild strawberry and alpine berries. A full and structured wine, with clay soil substance and depth. The breadth and weight of ripe, rich fruit is carefully balanced by the wine’s sweetness and the all-important freshness: Cyril thinks this is so important in his wines this year. A classy village wine, punching above its weight.

Burghound, January 2024, Score: 89-91
From Les Crais and La Croix des Champs, both of which are on the eastern side of D974. A slightly riper nose freely offers up notes of purple fruit, especially plum, along with hints of earth, the sauvage, and underbrush. There is again an excellent vibrancy to the detailed and attractively textured flavours that display fine length on the mildly austere finale. This too could use better depth but a few years of cellaring should certainly help. Drinking 2029+.

Rugby-loving Cyril is the 5th generation of Audoins in the commune of Marsannay, the Côte de Nuits’ most northerly appellation covering 400 hectares. Today Marsannay is rightly gaining the recognition it deserves as a fine source of high-quality red wines, not least thanks to Cyril’s efforts, amongst others. Indeed, the commune has 14 lieux-dits which have been proposed to the INAO for a long overdue upgrade to 1er Cru status. Whilst this might not be immediate, it reflects the respect that Marsannay and its best vineyards are rightly held in today.Read less
Region
Gevrey Chambertin
The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
