Auxey Duresses Les Cloux Boisson Pierre, 2022

Auxey-Duresses Les Cloux by Boisson Pierre is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay that captures the village’s reputation for poised, mineral-driven white wines. From the 2022 vintage, it offers a stylish balance of freshness, texture, and nuance that makes it a compelling choice for lovers of classic white Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright pale gold color with a clean, luminous sheen. The nose leans toward white flowers, citrus peel, green apple, and subtle stone-fruit notes, often layered with flinty, lightly toasted, or hazelnut-like accents from élevage. On the palate, expect a precise, elegant structure with fresh acidity, a supple mid-palate, and a distinctly mineral finish that reflects its Burgundian origins. This is the kind of Chardonnay that can be enjoyed young for its freshness and clarity, but it may also develop additional complexity with a few years of cellaring. With time, the fruit can broaden into richer notes of baked citrus, almond, and honeyed nuance while preserving its line and energy.

Production
Auxey-Duresses is a small village in the Côte de Beaune, where vineyards benefit from limestone-rich soils and a cool Burgundian climate that naturally favors freshness and definition. Les Cloux is a site that can lend both tension and finesse to Chardonnay, with the 2022 vintage likely marked by careful harvesting to preserve acidity and aromatic purity. As with many quality Burgundy whites, vinification is typically centered on gentle pressing, fermentation in tank or oak, and a period of maturation on lees to add depth and texture without overwhelming the wine’s mineral core.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast chicken, poached fish, shellfish, creamy poultry dishes, and mild to medium-aged cheeses such as Comté or young Brie. Serve it chilled at around 10–12°C to best show its freshness and balance. Decanting is usually not necessary, though a short airing in the glass can help open the aromas if served young.

Producer
Boisson Pierre is a respected Burgundy producer associated with wines that emphasize site expression and traditional craftsmanship. In a region where precision and terroir are paramount, the estate’s work contributes to the enduring reputation of Auxey-Duresses as a source of elegant, characterful white Burgundy. Its wines are appreciated for their authenticity, balance, and ability to reflect the nuances of the vintage and vineyard.
