The domain
Located in Meloisey, on the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, the Denis Carré family estate covers more than 12 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 has obtained its Organic Farming certification.
Thanks to their deep-rooted 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 mentioned and awarded prizes by the specialist press and acclaimed by both professionals and wine lovers alike.
Terroir and breeding
The Les Vireux vineyard is located at the top of a hillside on the edge of the village of Meursault. The vines that produce this excellent Auxey-Duresses are east-facing, on clay-limestone soil with iron oxides. The average yield is 50 hl/hectare. The vines are cultivated using organic farming techniques. Vinification: 14 days in temperature-controlled vats, then aged for 14 to 18 months in French oak barrels before bottling at the estate.
Tasting notes
The colour is a beautiful pale, crystalline yellow. The nose reveals lovely notes of white flowers and exotic fruits. The attack is fresh and full-bodied, with a lovely liveliness, prominent fruit aromas and a long finish underscored by a subtle minerality. This excellent wine will pair perfectly with your finest fish dishes, white meats or even mild cheeses.
