Auxey-Duresses Red 2024 Nuiton-Beaunoy: Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune

The 2024 Auxey-Duresses Red from Nuiton-Beaunoy exemplifies the expertise of Burgundy’s associated winegrowers and their dedication to the terroirs of the Côte-d’Or. This commune-level appellation is situated between the Côte de Beaune and the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. Its Pinot Noir displays a fruity character and an elegant structure, much sought after by lovers of Burgundian red wines.

On tasting, it reveals a brilliant red colour. The nose is dominated by dark berries, particularly blackcurrant and blackberry, to which spicy and oaky nuances may be added. On the palate, the wine is characterised by freshness and vibrancy. The tannins provide structure without masking the fruit’s expression, whilst the oaky notes contribute to the overall balance.

Vinification in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats allows for precise control over fermentation and preserves the grapes’ aromatic qualities. The Nuiton-Beaunoy technical sheet also describes ageing in French oak barrels for 10 to 12 months for this cuvée.

At the table, this Auxey-Duresses is the perfect accompaniment to roast poultry, pork fillet, roast veal or a tender cut of beef. It also pairs well with fine charcuterie and creamy cheeses. To fully appreciate its bouquet and texture, serve it at between 16 and 18 °C.

A versatile and refined Burgundy wine, to be enjoyed now or laid down for a few years in a suitable cellar.
