• On 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.

• Our Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru les Grands Champs comes from a single parcel, located right in the middle of the climat, on stony marl-limestone soil. The parcel produces small grapes that concentrate a lot of fruity aromas and colour and magnify the pinot noir.

• A cherry-red colour. The nose offers rich notes of black berries. Supple, fine and tannic on the palate, with a blackberry finish. This wine, comparable to some Volnays, has great ageing potential.

• Aged 100% in oak barrels for 12 months with 20% new barrels.

• It should be served at a temperature of between 14 and 16°C. It goes well with dishes such as fish, shellfish and seafood, poultry, white meats and certain meats in sauce.
