Launay-Horiot
Domaine Launay Horiot is a rising star that has now ‘risen’ and is performing at a seriously high level. This domaine has achieved excellent scores in 2019 from Burgundy expert Jasper Morris MW, and Neal Martin once compared this wine to Armand Rousseau!
"There was occasionally a clarity that reminded me of Armand Rousseau" Neal Martin on Domaine Launay Horiot
Owned by ex-Air Force pilot Xavier Horiot, this family-run domaine has been operating in Pommard since the 18th century. Though relegated to obscurity for a generation, it has been revived by the current owner and his wine, and presently there are few producers in the region more modern and compelling than Launay-Horiot. With vines in the best crus of the Côte de Beaune as well as some limited Grands Crus from the Nuits, this is a sterling range of wines from a producer that rapidly on the ascent.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)Raised in 30% new wood and 70% 1 year old. Solid purple with medium depth. The nose starts on the oak and soon moves to the fruit. Very succulent again, smoothly balanced with a firm grip to the tannins. Yet it is suavely put together. High class, and it certainly has the length. Tasted: October 2019 |

Vinous (93)The 2020 Pommard Les Chaponnières 1er Cru has a lovely nose with fresh cranberry, wild strawberry and is almost pastille-like in terms of its purity. The palate has a fleshy and quite concentrated opening, very harmonious with Volnay-like density and sensuality. Irresistible. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)A fine mid ruby colour. The bouquet has both charm and density in a very happy balance. A lovely aftertaste of soft strawberry and fresh raspberry, the graceful side of Pommard with the tannins nicely covered. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: November 2023. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)An even deep purple. The bouquet is a little less exuberant than the Perrières, but still builds in intensity. The fruit profile is similar but with more refinement and some dark cherries. Useful acidity, refined tannins, fine persistence. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Nov 2024. |

Wine Advocate (86-88)The 2015 Pommard Les Perrières has quite a rich bouquet with touches of fig infusing the kirsch and cassis aromas. The palate is sweet on the entry with bold tannin, moderate complexity with a firm, slightly confit-like finish that needs to muster a little more precision. Not bad, although maybe just picked a day or two too late? Let's see. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)5 Star Wine. From vines planted in 1902. Fine clear mid-purple in colour, this has a very classy nose and some deep sweet rich fruit. Then a fine fresh acidity behind. This is very exciting! Stunning bouquet of dark raspberry and nectarine, so the sunshine is clearly present, but this is gorgeously juicy rather than crass. |

Vinous (90)The 2020 Pommard Les Perrières is a cuvée where winemaker Xavier Horiot confessed that in retrospect, he would have liked to pick a week earlier. Granted, the aromatics feel quite high-toned and extroverted, which is not his style, though the palate is fleshy and well-balanced, quite harmonious with sufficient acidity to keep it in balance. Maybe Horiot was being a bit hard on himself - this is perfectly fine. |

Vinous (84-86)The 2021 Pommard Les Perrières has a fragrant nose with raspberry pastilles and light floral scents. Fine delineation and purity, though not complex. The palate is well balanced with sappy red fruit, moderate depth, just missing some flesh on the finish that feels a tiny bit underripe compared to other cuvées. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)(5 Star Wine) Not too deep in colour, with rather a stylish perfumed raspberry fruit. Light fresh acidity, behind the beautifully balanced fruit, a few tannins too, but the fruit stretches out wonderfully behind them. The benefit of ancient vines is clear to see. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted: November 2023. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)Picked over several days. An even powerful purple. The nose has an exuberant deep ripe raspberry aspect, but not over the top, with amazing energy on the palate, dark raspberry glossy fruit with firm but fine tannins at the back. Very juicy. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Nov 2024. |
