2023 Domaine Roulot Auxey-Duresses Blanc Cote de Beaune, France
$165.00
Surface area: 0.48 hectares Average
Vine age: 60 years
Roulot's Auxey-Duresses parcels are located north of Vireuils & Tessons, where the slope turns from east-facing to north-facing. While the cooler micro-climate makes the Auxey-Duresses slightly more austere than the Meursaults, the difference is not as great as the different appellation would make it seem. Auxey-Duresses and the Meursaults all have the same vinification + elevage. Vinification: Hand harvested, pneumatic pressing, natural yeast fermentation and 11-12 months elevage in barrel, followed by 6-7 months in tank. Fined with tiny amounts of caseine and bentonite, very lightly filtered before bottling. Sulfur is adjusted to 20mg/L free during elevage to 30mg/L free at bottling.
