Details and technical informations about Winery Guillemard-Pothier's Auxey-Duresses.
Discover the grape variety: Alvina
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, it belongs to the heritage varieties whose commercial diffusion has almost disappeared and which are studied for their genetic interest. Rare, poorly documented white variety cultivated in negligible quantities.

The wine region of Auxey-Duresses
Discreet Cote de Beaune village west of Meursault: Pinot Noir reigns in red (~2/3) — ruby robe with notes of blueberry, blackcurrant, blackberry, redcurrant, raspberry, cherry, peony and smoke, signature tannic structure more solid and masculine evoking a light Pommard, ageing 5-10 years. Chardonnay as refined white complement (pale straw, fresh almond, hawthorn, citrus, reinette, biscuit and fine minerality). AOC (1937), 9 Premiers Crus, marl-limestone south slopes.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Grand Cru
In Burgundy, the fourth and final level of classification (above the regional, communal and premier cru appellations), designating the wines produced on delimited plots of land (the climats) whose name alone constitutes the appellation. The climats classified as Grand Cru are 32 in the Côte d'Or plus one in Chablis which is divided into 7 distinct climats. Representing barely 1.5% of the production, the Grand Crus are the aristocracy of Burgundy wines.
