Info about the winery
\nUnser gesch\u00e4tzter Weinberg \u201cMoulin aux Moines\u201d, in Auxey-Duresses, ist eine exklusive Parzelle des beschaulichen Anwesens. Der Teil namens \u201cVieille Vignes\u201d wurde in den 50er Jahren auf einem H\u00f6henunterschied von 298 Metern in Nord-Ost-Ausrichtung bepflanzt.<\/p>\n
Wine soil
\nThe particular soil conditions here have a unique character and are steeper, drier and much deeper than elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Processing method
\nOur grape harvest is done by hand, with a yield of 38-44 hl\/ha. We ferment the wine in used barrique barrels for 16-18 months, resulting in a total production of 4000 bottles.<\/p>\n
Colour scheme
\nThe wine's lush ruby red gleams clearly and brings out bright violet reflections.<\/p>\n
Bouquet
\nAfter uncorking, the 2017 Auxey-Duresses Vielles Vignes offers us a cool and finely structured bouquet. Fruity notes of sloe, blackberry and blackcurrant combine with the earthy tones of leather, tobacco and stony notes. With a sufficient amount of oxygen, notes of noble dark chocolate and violets also emerge.<\/p>\n
A treat for the palate
\nOn the tongue, it is determined and fresh, with dark berry notes. Its silky smooth structure caresses the tongue with feminine lightness, pleasant acidity and fine-grained tannins. The moderate alcohol content of just 12.5 vol% makes for a special drinking pleasure. A fine and at the same time powerful wine!<\/p>\n
Serving suggestion
\nFor maximum enjoyment, we recommend decanting and then serving in a Burgundy glass.<\/p>\n
Alternative food recommendations
\nEnjoy this wine together with roasted beetroot and chanterelles. A coq au vin with crispy bacon is also a great combination. Or try it with glazed pork belly with sweet potato puree and lightly fried pak choi.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
