The domain
Located in Meloisey, in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, the Denis Carré family estate covers more than 13 hectares and produces a dozen appellations in the Côte de Beaune and Hautes Côtes de Beaune. Committed to organic farming techniques since 2008, the estate is in the process of obtaining Organic Agriculture certification.
Thanks to their passion for the terroir and their love of a job well done, Denis, Bernadette, Gaëtane and Martial Carré produce delicious, perfectly balanced wines of great elegance and finesse, which are regularly cited and rewarded by the specialised press, and acclaimed by professionals and wine lovers alike.
Terroir and breeding
The vines that produce this excellent Auxey-Duresses have a south-east exposure, on very stony marl and limestone soil. The average yield is 50 hl/hectare. The vineyard is worked according to organic farming techniques. Vinification: 14 days in thermo-regulated vats, followed by 12 months in French oak barrels before bottling at the estate.
Tasting notes
The colour is a beautiful pale yellow, crystal clear. The nose reveals beautiful notes of white flowers and exotic fruits. The attack is fresh, ample, with a nice vivacity, fruit aromas well present and a long finish underlined by a fine minerality. This excellent wine will go perfectly with your finest fish, white meats or even soft cheeses.
