• At the threshold of a valley that plunges into the Hautes-Côtes to the west of Meursault, the village of Auxey was a dependency of the Abbey of Cluny in the Middle Ages. Following on from Volnay, the Bourdon mountain faces south-east: this is the Pinot Noir terroir. The very fine soil of Mont Mélian, on the other side of the road, is ideal for Chardonnay.

• The fours climats are located at altitude, on the plateau overlooking Auxey-Duresses. The soils are light, marly-limestone, always well drained, with a gentle slope. Maturities are very good.

• The result is a very mineral, fruity wine with a surprisingly pale, gold-green color. The nose offers notes of vanilla and white fruit, such as pear. The palate is round, with notes of citrus and fresh almond. The finish is chiseled, with mineral and a hint of iodine.

• Aged 100% in oak barrels for 12 months, with 30% new barrels.

• Perfect as an aperitif, with blanquette de veau, shrimp bisque, stuffed capon or fine charcuterie. Serve at a temperature between 12 and 14°C.
