Descrizione

The Auxey-Duresses Blanc Monopole - Clos du Moulin Aux Moines comes from a historic single estate located in the Côte de Beaune, in Burgundy. This high-caliber Chardonnay expresses the essence of its calcareous terroir with exceptional precision. The vines, carefully tended through biodynamic practices, bestow upon the wine a remarkable purity and environmental respect.

Visually, this wine presents a light straw yellow color, while the nose reveals inviting notes of green apple, hazelnut, and white flowers, enriched by a subtle hint of vanilla and stony minerality. On the palate, the Auxey-Duresses Blanc stands out for its extraordinary freshness and balance, with a medium body and creamy texture that culminates in a long and persistent finish.

Thanks to its elegant complexity and liveliness, this wine is perfect for pairing with delicate fish dishes, seafood, or creamy cheeses. Its aging potential is remarkable, allowing one to appreciate the evolution of its flavors and aromas over time.

Winery history

The site is an ancient wine estate mentioned as early as the Middle Ages: the Clos del Moulin aux Moines is associated with the monks of the Abbey of Cluny and later with the Abbey of Cîteaux. Over the centuries the property changed hands several times; the Andrieu family is recorded as the controlling owner since their acquisition in 2008, during which the estate was renovated and relaunched.

Production philosophy

The estate favors a low-intervention approach to showcase the character of the terroir: organic and biodynamic cultivation applied to the entire vineyard, manual harvesting, limited use of winemaking technologies, and some low-sulfite winemaking experiments for the alternative cuvées.

Terroir and vineyards

Situated in the Côte de Beaune, between the communes of Auxey-Duresses and Meursault. The emblematic monopole is a clos protected by a stone wall with red clay and limestone soils, situated in a low-lying position watered by a local stream.
