Nearly a century later, the fifth generation of that same family, Amaury and Aurore Devillard, now oversees an estate portfolio that includes some of Burgundy's most respected names: Château de Chamirey, Domaine des Perdrix, Domaine de la Ferté, and Domaine de la Garenne. Le Renard — \"the fox\" — is the label the family built specifically to bring that same level of winemaking expertise to a genuinely accessible price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe philosophy behind Le Renard is disarmingly simple: express the purest taste of each grape varietal from Burgundy, using the same winemaking team responsible for the family's finest Premier Cru and Grand Cru bottlings. The 2022 Pinot Noir is sourced from select growers across the region, farmed on Jurassic limestone and marl soils — premier terroir by any Burgundian standard — with sustainable practices including green harvesting and traditional Guyot pruning at a density of 10,000 vines per hectare. Fermentation and aging take place in stainless steel, a deliberate choice to preserve purity and freshness over oak-driven weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe result opens with aromas of cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, accented by delicate notes of earth and spice — bright and lively on the nose, with a palate that turns elegant and silky: fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a savoury edge that gives the wine real Burgundian character despite its everyday accessibility. Wine-Searcher's aggregate places the 2022 vintage at 89 points, among the strongest showings in the wine's recent vintage history. Refined, balanced, and — as more than one retailer has put it — effortlessly drinkable. A genuine taste of Burgundy's finest winemaking pedigree, at the price point where most people are still just discovering the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eLe Renard is produced by the Devillard family, whose history in Burgundian winemaking stretches back to the 12th century in Mercurey and whose modern estate began in 1934 with the Marquis de Jouennes' first bottling of red Mercurey. Today the fifth generation, siblings Amaury and Aurore Devillard, manages a portfolio of respected Burgundy properties including Château de Chamirey, Domaine des Perdrix, Domaine de la Ferté, and Domaine de la Garenne. Le Renard was created as a separate, more accessible label, crafted by the same winemaking team responsible for the family's finest Premier Cru and Grand Cru releases — a deliberate effort to extend that expertise to wines sourced more broadly and priced for everyday enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir is sourced from select growers across Burgundy rather than a single estate vineyard, farmed on Jurassic limestone and marl soils considered premier terroir within the region. Vineyards are sustainably managed, employing green harvesting and the traditional Guyot pruning system at a planting density of 10,000 vines per hectare — a relatively high density consistent with quality-focused Burgundian viticulture. Vinification takes place entirely in stainless steel, without oak influence, a choice specifically intended to showcase the pure, unadorned character of the Pinot Noir grape and the vintage itself rather than layering in barrel-derived spice or vanilla.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright ruby color, with aromas of cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry leading the way — fresh and lively rather than deep or brooding.
