    Daniel Largeot was a well-respected winemaker in Chorey-les-Beaune, whose deep, traditional red wines were much appreciated by a mostly local clientele. He started bottling his own wine in 1965 and was joined by his daughter Marie-France, who completed wine studies in Beaune in 2000. She was joined by her husband Remy Martin (that really is his name) in 2002. Coincidently, Remy was a classmate of Vincent Charleux of the Maranges domaine Maurice Charleux.

    Unfortunately Daniel Largeot passed away in 2008, but his daughter and son-in-law continue to work his 13 hectares spread over five appellations, with Marie-France in charge of vinification and Remy in charge of the vines. Their philosophy that wine is made in the vineyard is simple. "We invest tremendous time and effort between the vines,” says Remy, “because when the grapes are not at their best, they are difficult to improve in the winery."

    This is a wonderful domaine to find well-constructed and fruity Pinot Noir for fans looking for overachieving wines from unheralded appellations. They are and excellent old school producer, without relying on the trappings of sexy new oak but rather displaying deep red fruit and a subtle hint of earthiness that only adds to the wine’s appeal. This is another domaine whose wines over deliver for their price.

    Celebrated as some of the best wine in the universe, red wine from Burgundy, otherwise known as red Burgundy, is Pinot noir. In fact Burgundy is the birthplace of Pinot noir and the source of the planet’s most sensual, delicate, valuable and sought-after Pinot noir wines.

    Understanding and enjoying red Burgundy can stay simple, with a basic knowledge of its subregions, become more intricate by dialing down to the villages and vineyards or become a life-long passion, exploring climats (plots of vines), vintages and the post French Revolution land ownership laws. In any case, a fine red Burgundy will display refined nuances of black currant, red fruit, earth, spice, alluring floral aromatics and have great elegance, complexity and longevity.

    Most famous, praised and collected of Burgunday are those from the Côte d'Or. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the area now called Côte d'Or was under a warm ocean whose sea floor has, over time, shifted and decomposed into various layers of limestone, sandstone and clay interspersed with ancient fossilized sea creatures. This is what is referred to as the famous escarpment upon which all of the highly sought-after Grands Crus and Premiers Crus vineyards can be found. In other words, from north to south, the best vineyards of Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, Flagey-Echezeaux, Nuits-St-Georges, Aloxe-Corton, Pommard and Volnay follow the path of this ancient sea bed.
