Domaine de la Roche Aiguë Auxey Duresses Blanc 2022

Domaine de la Roche Aiguë Auxey-Duresses Blanc 2022 is a beautifully crafted Burgundy Chardonnay that combines freshness, roundness, and a refined mineral edge. Sourced from the domaine’s own parcel on the heights between Melin and Saint-Roman, it reflects both the character of its limestone-rich terroir and the thoughtful, hands-on approach that has long defined great white wines from this appellation.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a straw-yellow color with elegant golden highlights. The nose is expressive and layered, opening with citrus, brioche, fresh almonds, yellow apple, white flowers, and a subtle touch of oak. On the palate, it is generous and well-balanced, offering ripe yellow fruit, a gentle creamy texture, and a clear mineral backbone. A lively acidity keeps the wine fresh and poised, while the finish lingers with impressive aromatic persistence. It already drinks very well young, though it should continue to develop added complexity over the next few years.

Production
The fruit comes from the estate’s own vineyard parcel located on elevated slopes between Melin and Saint-Romain, where chalk and clay soils lend both tension and breadth to the wine. The vineyard is cultivated with great respect for nature, and the grapes are harvested by hand to ensure quality and precision. After pressing and fermentation, the wine matures in a combination of new and used French oak barrels, adding subtle texture and complexity without overwhelming the fruit.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with roasted poultry, creamy seafood dishes, noble white fish, risotto, and lightly aged cheeses. Serve it at around 10–12°C to best appreciate its freshness and depth. A brief decant is not necessary, but giving it a little time in the glass can help reveal its full aromatic range.
