Arnaud Baillot Bourgogne Rouge "La Montagne" 2023

Tasting Notes

A radiant, bright ruby colour invites you in. On the nose: fresh wild cherry, red currant and a whisper of rose petal, layered with subtle spice and soft forest floor. The palate is elegant and lithe, with vibrant red-fruit energy, fine silky tannins, and a mineral seam lifting the finish. It’s light-bodied but built with care—fresh, pure and quietly expressive.

Why It’s Special

• From the house of Arnaud Baillot, this wine is a great illustration of Pinot Noir from Burgundy handled with precision: minimal extraction, destemmed fruit, and a focus on clarity of fruit rather than muscle.

• The appellation “Bourgogne Rouge” remains accessible, but this cuvée punches above its label—serious grower energy, thoughtful vineyards, and cellar work that favours terroir expression.

• For your clientele who love Burgundian reds but don’t always want grand-cru prices, this is a perfect fit: stylish, drinkable, elegant NOW yet with enough foundation to enjoy over the next few years.

• The “La Montagne” indicates a specific subplot or hillside selection—so you’re offering more than just a generic region wine; you’re giving them a story and site identity.

About the Producer

Arnaud Baillot and his team are based in Beaune in the Côte d’Or, and have made a name for themselves by combining sustainable vineyard practices with precise, respectful cellar work. Their philosophy centres on letting the vineyard speak: organic or low-intervention viticulture, gentle pressing/fermentation, older barrels when needed, and minimal imposition on the fruit. With their “La Montagne” Bourgogne Rouge 2023 you’re seeing this ethos applied to regional-level Pinot Noir—accessible yet serious.
