────────────────────────────────────────────

A concentrated 1er Cru Pinot Noir with rich, elegant depth. The 2022 Auxey‑Duresses ‘Les Grands Champs’ reveals intense red fruit — cassis, cherry, cocoa, forest floor — complemented by smoky oak, violets, herbs, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate it’s round, silky, concentrated, with velvety tannins and lively acidity. The finish is prolonged and elegant — excellent drinkability and aging potential.
