Auxey-Duresses
A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.

Tasting
Tasting note
An elegant and generous wine, marked by aromas of hazelnut and dried fruits. Aging on lees provides great complexity, with a subtly oily texture on the palate. The finish, round and harmonious, leaves an impression of softness and refinement.
Food pairings
Ideal with bacon bits and mushroom salad, chicken gnocchi or a sheep's cheese such as Ossau-Iraty.
