"A rare vintage... and that's a real shame!"

Auxey-Duresses is located at the entrance to a valley that, from the Côte de Beaune, winds its way into the Hautes Côtes along the road to La Rochepot and Autun. Ruby in color—neither too light nor too dark—this balance carries over to the nose, which is rich in berries such as raspberry and blackcurrant, accented by a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is refined and supple from the first sip, full-bodied, tannic, and elegantly oaked, yet never lacking in freshness.

Wine Production

A 5-day cold pre-fermentation, followed by maceration for approximately 15 days, with the final stage taking place at around 30°C. Vinification is as natural as possible. The yeasts used for alcoholic fermentation and the lactic acid bacteria used for malolactic fermentation are natural; no selected exogenous strains are added.

Livestock Farming

Aged 100% in barrels (20% of which are new) for 12 months, then blended in stainless steel tanks for 4 months. Bottled without fining, with light filtration.

Eye

Intense ruby-red color

Nose

Enticing aromas of raspberry and blackcurrant, accented by a hint of spice; fresh and spring-like on the second nose

Palate

Vibrant on the palate, full-bodied, rich and juicy, tannic, with elegant oak notes, yet still fresh. Excellent aging potential.

About the estate:
