Winery
The dimension that is near impossible to express in words.
Today the domain covers 10 hectares spread over 4 villages and 15 designations. Today it is run by his grandson, Charles van Canneyt. Since 2005 Alain had been helped by Vincent Meunier, who continues to work with Charles.
The Romanée St Vivant wines were planted in 1920, and most other crus including Richebourg were planted between 1920-1950.
The Premiere Crus, Vosne Romanée Les Beaumonts, Les Suchots and Malconsorts all consist of almost 100 year old vines and produce the finest examples of these fine terroirs.
In the Vineyard
No work is spared in the vineyards. The philosophy of having healthy vines to lead to healthy grapes in order to make better wines is carefully followed.
In the Winery
During vintage, careful sorting is done in the vineyards followed by detailed further sorting in the winery before the juice is carefully brought into the concrete enameled fermentation tanks. Charles’s philosophy is to keep up to 20% of the stems with the juice, especially in vintages and appellations where the fruit can support the extra tannins. The wines are aged in casks particularly from Allier, with some from the Vosges and local Citeaux.

Pinot Noir from Vosne-Romanée, Côte-de-Nuits
The 2021 Richebourg Grand Cru is terrific, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, orange zest, sweet spices, rose petals and licorice, followed by a full-bodied, rich and layered palate that's impressively muscular and multidimensional, built around ripe tannins and lively acids, and concluding with a long, expansive finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 94-96 Points BH 94
Pinot Noir from Vosne-Romanée, Côte-de-Nuits
A highly restrained and decidedly cool nose requires aggressive swirling to coax the wonderfully spicy red pinot fruit, floral and exotic tea scents from the glass. On the palate the super-refined, energetic and well-detailed middleweight flavors possess a lilting, pure and highly refined mouthfeel thanks primarily to the beautifully fine-grained tannins supporting the striking long, balanced and lightly austere finale. This is very classy juice. Don't miss!Allen Meadows, Burghound 94-97 Po
Pinot Noir from Vosne-Romanée, Côte-de-Nuits
An even spicier nose reflects notes of exotic black tea, dark cherry, incense, hoisin, plum liqueur and a broad range of floral elements. The gorgeously textured medium weight flavors are once again not especially dense yet manage to display impressive power on the dusty, compact and hugely long finish, indeed this offers the best persistence in the entire range. In sum, this is stunningly good with the development potential to match. Don't Miss!Allen Meadows, Burghound 94-97 Points
