Auxey-Duresses
La Macabrée
A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.
Vineyard
This small "Climat" means the marsh, next to Meursault "Les Luchets" and "Vireuils". The clayey marly soil gives quickly a satisfactory maturity in a rich and dynamic style. Cuvée vinified from three distinct vines with different ages.
