2019 Catherine et Claude Maréchal Auxey-Duresses Rouge

WINEMAKER: Claude Maréchal
REGION: Burgundy, FR
VARIETAL: Pinot Noir
VITICULTURE: Organic

"Aromatically this is always a gorgeous highly sensual wine; in 2019 it displays a very high toned and attractive blend of cherries, plum, strawberries and a gentle floral top note. On the palate the wine is pure, medium-bodied and very perfumed with good sappiness at the core, very refined tannins, bright acids and excellent focus and grip on the long, tangy and complex finish. One to bring a smile and it is again superb." - Andrew Guard

Claude and Catherine’s aim is to produce “vins de plaisir” – wines that are approachable and bring pleasure to all who drink them. Ultimately, Claude says, “you don’t make wine with techniques, you make wine with grapes. If you harvest ripe, healthy grapes, the wines will always be exemplary.
