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: Decanting
A sommelier uses a decanter to separate the clear wine from the solid parts in a bottle.
