Description

Auxey-Duresses Red 2022: an authentic Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune

With this Auxey-Duresses Red 2022, Domaine Lafouge presents an elegant expression of the Burgundian vineyards. Based in Auxey-Duresses for several generations, the Lafouge family continues to uphold winemaking expertise rooted in the character of its terroirs. This cuvée is made from Pinot Noir, a grape variety that reveals a fruity aromatic palette and a delicate structure here.

The brilliant ruby colour heralds an expressive tasting experience. The nose opens with notes of cherry and raspberry, with hints of dark fruits, liquorice and forest floor adding complexity. On the palate, the wine charms with its supple, velvety texture. The tannins remain refined, whilst a distinct acidity supports the fruit and contributes to the overall balance. A subtle mineral note lingers on the finish.

This Burgundy red wine lends itself to a wide range of food pairings. It pairs beautifully with roast poultry, roast veal, pork fillet or duck breast. It also complements grilled red meat, a slow-cooked dish or soft cheeses.

To fully appreciate its aromatic profile, serve it at around 15–16 °C, after allowing it to breathe slightly if necessary. The 2022 vintage can be enjoyed now and will keep for a few years in the cellar under the right conditions.

With its delicate fruit, freshness and well-balanced tannins, the 2022 Auxey-Duresses Rouge from Domaine Lafouge is a wonderful discovery for lovers of Pinot Noir and wines from the Côte de Beaune.
