Cyril Audoin is one of a small cohort of producers forging Marsannay’s reputation for serious, fine Burgundy. He makes exciting, elegant wines that are starting to turn the critics’ heads, yet remain brilliant value.
About the producer
Cyril Audoin is the fifth generation of his family to make wine in the region, but for years the family’s production was sold off to négociants. It was Cyril’s parents, Charles and Marie-Françoise, who started bottling the wine themselves, establishing the domaine in 1972. Marsannay wasn’t an official appellation until 1987, yet Charles believed in its potential, producing wines from plots that he identified as special. The couple gradually grew the estate from 2.5 hectares to 14.
