Auxey-Duresses (White)

Origine

The vines grow on white marly soil located on the lower reaches of the Auxey-Duresses hillsides as well as in the hamlet of Melin. Soil composed of white marl and limestone.

Vinification

The technique of tying vines to posts is prevalent, in association with a widespread practice of planting grass between the vine rows, indicative of the preference to promote more environmentfriendly winegrowing.
Pressing is introduced once the grapes have been treaded, and fermentation is to be maintained at 20°. Maturation takes place in oak barrels, ensuring a medium presence of wood tannins to allow the soil to permeate into the wine.
Bottling is performed after 9 to 12 months.
