Les Rouquins is a 100% Pinot Noir from the Bourgogne Coulanges-la-Vineuse appellation in northern Burgundy, made by Nicolas Vauthier under his micro-negociant label Vini Viti Vinci. The name translates literally as "red heads." Vauthier sources organically farmed grapes on the vine from trusted growers in the Yonne department, harvesting with his own picking crew to control fruit quality. The vineyards sit on Kimmeridgian limestone, clay, and marl soils at elevations between 155 and 310 meters, with south and southeast-facing slopes.
The reds are made entirely with whole bunches using carbonic maceration, a technique Vauthier refined while working under Philippe Pacalet in Beaune. After fermentation, the wine spends a brief period in used barriques for softening before being bottled unfiltered and unfined, with little to no added sulfur.
The result is a pale ruby, light-bodied Pinot Noir built around cranberry tartness, fresh raspberry, violet, and a streak of autumnal earth. Acidity is bright and grip is minimal, making this a high-drinkability wine at a price point that overdelivers for the appellation and the winemaking approach behind it.
