Domaine Truchetet Auxey-Duresses Le Plain de Lugny Vignoble de Pauline 2024

Domaine Truchetet’s Le Plain de Lugny is an elegant Pinot Noir from a single vineyard near Melin in Auxey-Duresses, presented as Vignoble de Pauline, the cuvée associated with Pauline Genot. Its cool-climate character and limestone-and-marl origins give it a poised, finely structured expression of Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
The supplied tasting description is for the 2023 vintage: it shows a deep ruby colour, with aromas of dark cherry, forest berries, earthy notes, bark and a delicate green freshness. On the palate, the fruit is lively and juicy, framed by bright acidity and fine-grained tannins rather than weight or overt richness. The wine’s balance of fruit, freshness and structure suggests it can be enjoyed young or cellared for a few years. Please note that the tasting information provided refers to 2023, so the 2024 vintage may differ.

Production
The vineyard lies near Melin, in Auxey-Duresses, where limestone- and marl-rich soils contribute structure and depth. The supplied production notes describe organically farmed vines, selective hand harvesting and careful sorting, followed by full destemming and several days of cold maceration. Extraction was kept gentle, using pump-overs rather than pigeage; the wine was then aged for about a year in barriques, including 20% new oak, before resting in tank. These technical details are provided for the 2023 vintage and are not confirmed for 2024.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 15–16°C with classic Burgundy dishes such as œufs en meurette or beef bourguignon, as well as roast duck and mature cheeses including Époisses or aged Comté. A short decant of around 20–30 minutes can help the wine open up; avoid serving it too warm, which may obscure its freshness.
