Domaine Fabien Coche Auxey-Duresses - Auxey-Duresses - Red - 2023 :

 

Uncover the secret of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune with the exquisite Domaine Fabien Coche Auxey-Duresses Rouge. This is a refined, organic (since 1998) Pinot Noir from Fabien Coche, a vigneron whose family history is intertwined with Burgundian royalty. Offering remarkable quality and value, this Auxey-Duresses-often overlooked for its pricier neighbours like Volnay-is a benchmark for elegant, pure red Burgundy.

Sommelier's Tasting Profile: A Study in Elegance

• Appearance: A clear, bright ruby hue.
• Nose: A beautifully balanced nose featuring fresh, vibrant red fruits (cherry, raspberry) with a floral lift of violet and subtle, earthy-spicy undertones.
• Palate: Refined and supple on the entry, evolving to a measured mid-palate with fine-grained tannins and a characteristic Côte de Beaune freshness. The finish is persistent, clean, and utterly moreish.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

A wine of this calibre demands a classic pairing. Serve lightly chilled at 16-18°C (60-64°F).

• Suggested Pairings: The ultimate partner for a classic Beef Wellington, rich Game Terrines, or a perfectly roasted Rack of Lamb.
• Cellar Potential: While delightful upon release, it will develop tertiary notes of leather and spice over the next 5-8 years.
