Domaine Leflaive & Associes Auxey-Duresses 2023

Domaine Leflaive’s Auxey-Duresses 2023 offers a refined expression of Chardonnay from an appellation close to Meursault, combining freshness with quiet depth. Made with the estate’s biodynamic approach, it brings the finesse associated with Leflaive to a less obvious, yet rewarding, corner of Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
Bright golden in the glass, it opens with citrus and white flowers, followed by notes of nuts and a subtle mineral edge. The palate is lively, with fresh acidity, ripe stone fruit and a gently creamy texture, leading to a long, mineral finish. Enjoy it young for its freshness, or cellar it for around five to eight years to allow further development.

Production
The Chardonnay comes from Auxey-Duresses, near Meursault, where the wines share some of the neighbouring appellation’s character while retaining their own identity. Grapes are hand-harvested and produced according to Domaine Leflaive’s biodynamic principles. Natural fermentation and restrained intervention aim to preserve the fruit and sense of place, while ageing in French oak—including a balanced proportion of new barrels—adds complexity without overwhelming the wine.

Food & Serving
Pair it with shellfish, simply prepared fish or lighter poultry dishes. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. A brief rest in the glass should be enough to let the aromas unfold; decanting is optional, though a short decant can help if opening the bottle young.

Producer
Domaine Leflaive is a leading Burgundy estate celebrated for its Chardonnay and its commitment to biodynamic viticulture. Its name is closely associated with the region’s white wines, and this Auxey-Duresses offers an opportunity to explore the estate’s style beyond its best-known wines.
