Magnum red wine Auxey Duresses Moulin aux Moines 2022

The 2022 Auxey-Duresses red Magnum from Clos du Moulin aux Moines is a confidential and luminous cuvée, from a vineyard managed organically for over a decade. Nestled between Meursault and Auxey-Duresses, the historic estate, completely restored by the Andrieu family since 2008 and led by the talented winemaker Willy Roulendes, showcases here a delicate and lively Pinot Noir, reflecting the terroir it comes from.

A timeless place, a masterpiece of craftsmanship

Located along the Cloux stream, the vines benefit from a cool, well-drained terroir composed of limestone and marl, providing tension and complexity. The grapes are grown organically, hand-harvested, vinified with minimal intervention and little to no sulfur, before a subtle aging process with just the right amount of oak, allowing the fruit expression to shine through.

Tasting notes: finesse, fruit, and depth

This 2022 vintage reveals an expressive nose of ripe red fruits – cherry, raspberry, redcurrant – enhanced with floral notes, undergrowth, and subtle spices. On the palate, the texture is silky, velvety, with a lovely density, fine and elegant tannins, and a fresh, persistent finish. An authentic and flavorful expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir.

Food pairing & serving

This refined red wine will perfectly accompany roasted poultry, veal fillet, leg of lamb, or washed-rind cheeses like Epoisses or Langres. Serve it between 16 and 18°C, after a brief decanting to fully open up its aromatic profile.

Potential for aging

Already charming today, this magnum can evolve over 8 to 10 years, gaining complexity and depth.
