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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"line-height: 100%; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Raleway, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"line-height: 100%; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Raleway, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"line-height: 100%; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eVincent’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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"line-height: 100%; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Raleway, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"line-height: 100%; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003ePierre 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 past year, is reveling 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.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"line-height: 100%; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"line-height: 100%; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI came away from the tasting blown-away by his efforts, knowledge, respect for his sites, and the phenominal quality of all his wines.

He debuted with the 2023 vintage last year, working out of the former Domaine des Terres de Velle winery on the fringe of Auxey-Duresses. The second vintage threw a few challenges his way, but he has the experience and skill to overcome them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Raleway, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Raleway, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e'It was difficult for me because I have a lot of old vines, and the weather disturbed the flowering,” he explained down in the barrel cellar. “I do all of the pruning in the Cordon du Royat method, which I am sure is better for vine maturation. There was a lot of mildew pressure. I picked from September 16 to 26 at 24 hl\/ha, and I had to use three different sorting tables. It was important to select the good grapes but not be too strict. We used 100% whole bunch for the reds, except for the Bourgogne Rouge because it had good phenolic maturity. I only decided to do this when I could taste the stems at the sorting table, see if the pips were brown and so forth. \u003cstrong\u003eIt is a vintage of finesse and purity, which is what I always want to achieve.\u003c\/strong\u003e'\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/1261\/1508\/collections\/PV_in_Vineyard_2.png?v=1773281237","url":"https:\/\/randalls.net.au\/collections\/domaine-pierre-vincent-2024-pre-arrival.oembed","provider":"Randall's Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
