Côte de Nuits Villages 'Emphase' Antoine Lienhardt 2023

Idris Ibrahim — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Bought this for my wife's birthday dinner and we both loved it. Really rich and fruity but not heavy despite being 14% — we killed the bottle without even noticing. Proper Burgundy vibes, felt like a special occasion wine.

Daniel Torres — Great with lamb

8/10

Had this with a slow-cooked lamb shoulder and it was a perfect match. The fruit is really clean and there's a lovely depth to it that keeps you coming back for another sip. Antoine Lienhardt is a name I'm going to remember.

Dmitri Volkov — Really impressed

8/10

I'm still pretty new to Burgundy but trying to learn. This was complex without being intimidating — lots of layers of fruit that kind of unfold as you drink it. Poured a second glass before I'd even finished cooking. Will definitely explore more from this producer.
