Domaine Houblin-Vernin – Undiscovered talent near the Paris garden

Mineral & rich – Burgundy with youthful talent and quiet confidence!

Just a two-hour drive from Paris lies Domaine Houblin-Vernin in Coulanges-la-Vineuse, in the Yonne, just south of Auxerre. What started in 1988 with barely 1.5 hectares in Migé, grew through the dedication of Jean-Luc Houblin into an estate of 35 hectares today. In 2022, Jean-Luc handed over the reins to the young Valentin Vernin, who is already impressing Burgundy insiders with his fresh vision and down-to-earth craftsmanship.

With the Young Talents Trophy in hand and HVE certification since 2019, this is exactly the kind of hidden talent we look for: gifted, driven, yet humble. Houblin-Vernin’s Burgundies combine mineral purity with satisfying richness – sure to seduce even the most spoiled Burgundy lover.
