We were pleased to have been the first in the UK to have heard about Cyril Audoin. On one of our visits to Burgundy he treated us to lunch in a tiny vineyard workers’ bistro and was horrified when one of his own very old bottles was corked. Luckily for us, he ran back to fetch a replacement. Not much white wine is made on the Cote de Nuits and his white Marsannay impressed us so much that it has become a firm Winery favourite. Cyril, now in his late 20s, started making wine when he was 12. Swashbuckling Cyril is something of a local Casanova – every time we visit, he seems to have a different (always drop-dead gorgeous) girlfriend. He told us that he has recently bought a love shack in the quiet village of Chambolle-Musigny. Lock up your daughters!
