Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru Red "La Chapelle" 2021 | Wine of the Domaine Lafouge

Red wine - Auxey-Duresses 1er cru "La Chapelle" 2021 - Domaine Lafouge

The domaine lafougehas been established in Auxey-Duresses since the seventeenth century, leaving its mark on this village on the Côte de Beaune. Over the centuries, the Jean and Gilles Lafouge family estate has expanded its territory by exploring small neighbouring plots near Meursault and Pommard, reaching an area of 10 hectares. Thanks to a serious commitment to vineyard work (ploughing and organic compost) and cellar practices (use of wild yeasts), each wine of the Domaine captures the singularity of its terroir with subtlety and greed, avoiding any excess of exuberance. The Domaine has embodied the harmonious alliance of tradition and discretion for six generations, a firmly rooted state of mind that seems to be more fruitful today than ever.

This Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru "La Chapelle" 2021 -Domaine Lafouge, on south-facing slopes composed of clay-limestone soils , the Pinot Noir gives birth to a balanced and fluid wine. With aromas of raspberry, redcurrant and black cherry, it has a spicy touch and remarkable robustness. Comparable to a Volnay, this wine has a strong ageing potential.
