Auxey-Duresses
La Macabrée
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.
Vineyard
Small Climat neighboring Meursault “Les Luchets” and “Vireuils”. This cuvée is a blend of two plots within the Climat: a young vine (15 years old) and an older vine (55 years old). These two different profiles bring complexity to this wine.
