Pierre Vincent, a name familiar to any keen follower of Burgundy’s ultra fine wine scene, has transitioned from a celebrated tenure at Domaine Leflaive taking over his own domaine.
At Leflaive, his expertise helped restore and increase the estate’s reputation following issues with premature oxidation and some over-ripeness. Yet, despite his influence, Leflaive would always be about Leflaive, with Vincent’s role more in the background. This bold new venture began in July 2023, when Vincent, in partnership with Hervé Kratiroff and Eric Versini of the Solexia Group, acquired an old-vine domaine in Auxey-Duresses, transforming it into Domaine Pierre Vincent.
The Domaine’s seven hectares of vineyards are a treasure chest of Côte de Beaune terroirs, featuring prime sites such as Corton-Charlemagne, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts, Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes and Volnay 1er Cru Ronceret. The vines, many of which are between 58 and 95 years old, are tended biodynamically—an approach Vincent has long championed, emphasizing balance, sustainability, and the authentic expression of place. His mastery of this method is evident in his nuanced, terroir-focused wines.
Vincent’s winemaking philosophy is a study in restraint and precision. In the cellar, he leans toward minimal intervention, allowing each cuvée to speak of its origins. The wines undergo gentle élevage and extended maturation: 1 and 1/2 years in barrels / earthenware containers, then a rest in tanks, over two winters—a patient process that ensures depth and stability.
Pierre uses new oak carefully, but even some generic wines can carry 20% new oak, and he also uses clay amphora and ceramic eggs. These wines are not fined or filtered. Pierre, who I tasted with at the new domaine in March this year, is revealing in his new-found estate, old vines (60yo average) and the small size. Leflaive is a much larger 80ha inc. the negoce wines; he says "here is better, I'm more hands' on."
I came away from the tasting blown-away by his efforts, knowledge, respect for his sites, and the phenomenal quality of all his wines. Cheers, Randall.

2024 Bourgogne Pinot Noir$206 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $185
"From three plots, with 70% whole bunch vinification. Mid crimson. Some stems, some light red fruit, though I suspect more will emerge – this is a cool sample in a cold cellar, of course. Light in the mouth, modest in concentration, a little redcurrant fruit, not too much pepper, yet quite a gracefully extended finish. 20% new wood hardly shows."

2024 Auxey-Duresses 'Les Closeaux'$279 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $237
"A tiny yield, providing 2.5 barrels from 0.67ha. Between crimson and ruby with a fine red fruit energy. No obvious stems on the nose, much more so in the mouth. But the fruit energy pretty much covers the stems though there is quite a fierce white pepper. Fine length. Drink from 2028-2031."
87-90 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
2024 Volnay 'Ez Blanches'$437 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $370
From above and adjacent to 1er Cru Clos de Chenes. This is a limestone rock site and a very classy red that is a clear step up in quality. The 65yo vines providing a power and finesse that is impressive.
"The 2024 Volnay 'Ez Blanches' has another pure bouquet, quite understated for a Volnay with discrete cranberry and wild strawberry scents, potpourri and freshly tilled loam. The palate is medium-bodied with powdery tannins. Fine depth, a keen line of acidity, quite Pommard in style towards the structured finish. Let it fill out over two or three pears post-bottling."

2024 Monthelie 1er Cru 'Les Duresses'$437 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $370
"The lovely, sweet blackberry fruit of this wine from Pierre Vincent amply demonstrates his ability with red wine as well as white. There is a charming accent of rose petals and spice to the ripe fruit, and a supple structure with silky tannins and good length. He has fermented all of the fruit as whole bunches (perhaps to fill the tank?). But there is no edge of green tannins, suggesting that he sorted particularly well. This wine should be ready to drink with just a year or two in barrel and can easily last a decade in the cellar."
93 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
2024 Volnay 1er Cru 'Le Ronceret'$693 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $589
"This stood out among the red wines at Domaine Pierre Vincent for its bright mulberry and bramble fruit, with hints of bay leaf and salty minerals. The texture is firm and very structured, yet it opens nicely on the palate. The grapes are from very old vines; even in 2024, Vincent vinified them entirely as whole bunches to produce this delicious wine, which should open up after three to five years in the bottle and then drink for another 15 years."
93 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
"A vivid ruby with just a little more of the fresh red fruit. There is pepper on top as well, but not dominant. A wave of high class fresh red fruit on the palate, covering the structure nicely, and very persistent little red fruits to finish. The 1er Cru Ronceret seems to be the best equipped to manage the whole bunch regime in this cellar."

Pierre Vincent Blanc
NB: Whites are allocated on the basis that they are paired with reds in at least 3:1 ratios
2024 Bourgogne Aligoté$279 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $249
This comes from a little site called Sous Chatelet next to Bize Leroy's parcel behind the cellar of D'Auvenay in Auxey. The vines are ancient and the slope faces north. Pierre uses 60% ceramic and 40% barrels to make this powerful, deep, textural and taut white. Really impressive!
"... comes from two parcels. This has quite an introspective nose that demands coaxing from the glass, with hints of dried honey and lanolin. Fine delineation. The palate is quite tangy on the entry with a keen thread of acidity, sorbet fresh with a hint of pepperiness on the finish where this Aligoté really comes to life. Enjoy over the next decade."

2024 Bourgogne Chardonnay$223 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $195
This is from Corpeau commune, just east of Puligny, and a plot of 30yo vines planted in deep soil giving a rich, full expression of Bourgogne Blanc..
"From lower Meursault and Puligny sites. Pale lemon colour. An immediate sense of finesse, this is understated, but obviously carries a fine quality of adequately ripe fruit, with impeccable texture. I am keeping this in my mouth as long as possible. Really gracious stylish wine here at the finish. Drink from 2027-2030."
5 stars, 89-91 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
2024 Bourgogne Blanc 'Les Pellans'$256 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $229
These Meursault commune vines were planted in 1955 across the road from 1er Cru Charmes and on the Puligny border. This is all matured in barrels with 10% new. It has real depth and good firmness and seems more like a villages quality than anything else!
"Mid lemon in colour. The bouquet is clearly just a notch richer than the blended Bourgogne. Is it finer? A light reductive note. Very old vines contribute to the concentration, with an excellent mineral underlay. Strikingly vibrant, a little more of everything though I am still taken by the finesse of the regular Bourgogne. Both wines are absolutely brilliant examples of their appellations."

2024 Monthélie 'Les Sous Roches' Blanc$305 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $274
"Ripe and round, offering delightful pear and apple aromas with a lemon peel edge and a hint of mineral. The grapes are from 0.22ha of vines in the steep, east-facing slopes beneath the slopes of Mount Frémont in Monthélie. The fermentation is partly in tank and partly in barrel to preserve the fresh appeal of the fruit. Ideally, wait one to two years before opening."
93 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
2024 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Vergelesses Blanc$454 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $395
"Pierre Vincent’s Savigny premier cru Aux Vergelesses is among the most notable wines from this vintage, with a pronounced lemon peel and acacia flower nose and a hint of marzipan that leads into a texture of density and vibrant tension. The grapes are from a 0.59ha parcel on the slopes facing the hill of Corton; they are gently pressed, settled and partly fermented in tank to preserve the lively fruit."

2024 Chassagne-Montrachet 'La Platiere'$490 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $439
This vines, planted in 1960, come from a 'flattish" section (Platiere) just under 1er Cru Les Chaumes in Morgeot. According to Pierre, it's a very classic Chassagne with grilled nuts aroma and great length.
"Pale in colour, with a discreet but relatively noble bouquet. Very little reduction, just orchard fruit showing in a discreet fashion. Despite the relative understatement, the fruit picks up speed on the palate and delivers a particularly fine aftertaste, with fruit, flesh and mineral acidity all in harness."
90-93 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
2024 Puligny-Montrachet$490 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $439
This wine comes from 2 adjacent plots, planted in 1952, just below 1er Cru Perrieres; Les Nosroyes and Les Levrons. This wine has more white floral nuances and is more mineral and finer that the Chassagne.
"It has a delineated, malic nose with scents of petrichor and shucked oyster shells that emerge with time in the glass. The palate is very harmonious on the entry, lively acidity, very cohesive, hints of grilled hazelnut and popcorn just popping up on the finish. Excellent.."

2024 Meursault 'Les Luchets'$545 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $489
"Thrillingly racy aromas of lime and greengage plum with a firmly saline, mineral underpinning take the forefront in the Meursault Luchets from Domaine Pierre Vincent. The acidity is fresh without being tart, and there is enough substance here to suggest that the wine will age gracefully for a decade or more. The grapes are from 0.26ha of 70-year-old vines at mid-slope along the border with Auxey-Duresses; they are gently pressed after meticulous sorting, and the wine was fermented in older barrels before 18 months of ageing."
93 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
2024 Meursault 1er Cru 'Les Charmes'$1,106 | Pre-Arrival Offer: $995
"There is just one barrel of the 2024 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru from vines planted in 1936. This is very expressive on the nose with honeysuckle, brioche and white peach, hints of almond and frangipani emerging with time. Gorgeous. The palate is well balanced with wonderful praline-tinged citrus fruit, perfectly pitched acidity and a tremendously long yet tender finish. Stunning."
From: Burgundy 2024: One Battle After Another (Jan 2026) 94-96 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
"According to Pierre Vincent, 'If I could do this every year, I would!' His 2024 Meursault Charmes is exceptional, with aromas that veer in the glass from lemon peel, mineral and smoke to something warmer, such as ripe apple, Williams pear and hazelnut. There is a lovely reduction that is perfectly calibrated to accent and not dominate the flavour, while fresh acidity on the palate balances the rich extract to perfection. The grapes are from 0.16ha of Charmes Dessous, on the border with Puligny."
95 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
2024 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Extremely Limited Allocation | Enquiry Only
Pierre jokes that he has to perform here, with the Corton, because one of his plots is adjacent to DRC, Bonneau du Martray and Coche Dury!
"This was among the delightful surprises of my tastings in this vintage. There is an intense concentration of zesty lime peel and nectarine fruit, with notes of verbena and a hint of salty minerality. The acidity is lively, balanced by enough extract to stretch the finish on the palate luxuriously. Vincent reports that the two parcels (one in Aloxe and one in Pernand) were picked four days apart to maximise ripeness. Last year there were nine barrels, this year only six, but he is delighted with the quality."
96 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
"Pale lemon in colour. A bouquet of such quintessential mineral refinement. Classy understatement. This is so tightly wound that I am far from sure I am seeing everything in it. Totally electric in style, fine-boned, delicate detail but the tensile strength is so evident that the delicacy is sustainable. Makes many other examples seem vulgar! Drink from 2030-2038."
