The wine region of Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru
Nine Premier Cru climats on the south-facing Montagne de Bourdon slopes (Côte de Beaune): mostly Pinot Noir (27 ha) with structured and austere profiles evoking a lighter Pommard — ruby colour, cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and spice aromas, ageing 5–15 years. Chardonnay (2 ha) as taut whites recalling a leaner Meursault, almond, apple and flint notes. Clay-limestone soils, flagship climats: Les Duresses, Climat du Val, Clos du Val, La Chapelle.
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: Green harvest or green harvesting
The practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining grapes tend to gain weight.
