Domaine Launay Horiot

Domaine Launay Horiot is a small Pommard estate producing village and Premier Cru Pommard from the southern Côte de Beaune, one of Burgundy's most powerful and tannic red wine appellations. The domaine holds parcels in Pommard Premier Cru Les Chaponnieres and the village-level Les Perrières. Pommard has a strong auction following due to its robust, age-worthy Pinot Noir style and the prestige of its top Premier Cru sites — Les Rugiens and Les Epenots — though Launay Horiot's parcels are in less illustrious sites. At auction, prices range from $30 to $159 with an average of $44 across 124 lots — modest pricing that positions Launay Horiot as an accessible entry point to Pommard Premier Cru. The domain is biologically farmed with low-intervention winemaking. For collectors seeking Pommard Premier Cru at prices well below the most famous names (Comte Armand, de Montille, Pousse d'Or), Launay Horiot represents legitimate value.
