A hidden gem in the Côte de Beaune. The Auxey-Duresses Rouge Vieilles Vignes 2023 from Domaine Henri Latour is a perfect example of how this overlooked appellation produces red Burgundies that easily rival a fine Volnay — but at a more accessible price.
In the glass, this Pinot Noir shows a bright, clear red hue. The nose is inviting and layered with notes of blackcurrant, ripe cherry, cocoa, and a subtle hint of forest floor, typical of old vines rooted in limestone-rich soils.
On the palate, it is light yet intense, with a soft texture and beautifully rounded tannins that meld seamlessly with food. The fruit is fresh and pure, showing nuances of blackcurrant and red berries, complemented by a touch of spice and subtle oak notes thanks to 10 months of ageing in French oak barrels (2–4 years old). The finish is long, smooth and lingers with an elegant earthiness and vibrant acidity.
This refined Auxey-Duresses Rouge pairs beautifully with:
Serving tip: lightly chilled (14–16°C) to show its best balance.
Domaine Henri Latour et Fils is a true family-run estate in the heart of Auxey-Duresses. Since its founding in 1992, the second generation, François and Sylvain Latour, craft honest Burgundies that combine tradition with finesse. Their 15 hectares of vineyards in Auxey-Duresses, Saint-Romain, and Meursault produce both red and white wines of high quality. The Guide Hachette des Vins has awarded their cuvées multiple times, underscoring their reputation for producing exceptional Burgundies under the radar.
An elegant Pinot Noir proving that Auxey-Duresses can deliver red Burgundies with character and finesse — a must-try for true Burgundy lovers! Santé! 🍷✨
