Located on the south side of the Côte de Beaune, in Santenay, the family estate has been passed down from Father to Son since 1679. René Lequin, alongside his wife Josette Colin, daughter of a family of winemakers from Chassagne-Montrachet, ran the estate, which took his name in 1976. Nowadays, their son François tends the nine hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, planted on some of the finest terroirs in the region. The Chardonnay vines are pruned with the Guyot method, while the Pinot Noir vines are pruned with the Cordon de Royat method, thus limiting yields and guaranteeing concentrated, fragrant grapes. The couple is convinced that respect for traditional expertise combined with cutting-edge technology is essential to producing great wines. Aware of current environmental challenges, they began converting to organic viticulture in 2009.

The Corton terroir, nestled in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, is home to the Les Languettes climat, located on the south-east-facing slope of the hill, offering ideal conditions for producing wines of both structure and finesse. The Pinot Noir vines grow on limestone soils of marly origin, known for yielding grapes of remarkable complexity. The stony subsoil and steep slopes ensure excellent natural drainage. The grapes are harvested by hand, with strict selection to retain only the finest fruit. Fermentation takes place in open vats with native yeasts, encouraging a pure expression of the terroir. Extended macerations and precise temperature control allow for gentle extraction of tannins and aromas. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for around 18 months, including approximately 30% new oak.
The wine displays a deep, intense ruby hue. The complex nose reveals aromas of ripe red fruit, layered with notes of spice, undergrowth and leather. Broad and elegant on the palate, it is supported by a well-defined yet silky tannic structure.
