"The 2023 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru, 100% whole bunch, has more density than the Monthélie, with darker fruit and greater terroir expression. The palate is balanced and subsumes the whole bunch well. It's fresh with a dash of white pepper on the finish. What a delicious Auxey-Duresses." 

Jasper Morris, 88-90 Points 

"Grand Champ and Bas de Duresses. The former will disappear from 2025, along with some Bourgogne Blanc as part of the deal which has enabled the purchase of the new Meursault and Beaune Teurons vineyards. Slightly lighter and perhaps bonier than the Monthelie but still with a good concentration behind. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Roulot's only premier cru bottling of red grapes, the Auxey is perfect for those who enjoy an ethereal, mineral-driven style of Pinot Noir. The nose presents a harmonious medley of dark berries and spice, while the palate echoes the taut, crystalline character of the domaine's white wines. A chalky core underpins this red that will drink beautifully for at least the next decade."
