The 2023 Auxerrois offers a brilliant expression of the grape variety, fully fermented and aged in barrel. The oak, sourced from the renowned François Frères Cooperage in Burgundy, is subtly woven into the wine, adding delicate vanilla tones to the refreshing layers of yellow fruit, juicy pear, and ripe melon. On the nose, the wine presents floral aromas, while the palate is marked by the classic low acidity of Auxerrois, resulting in a round and juicy mouthfeel.

The creaminess and finesse of this Auxerrois make it particularly suitable as a companion to a variety of culinary dishes. From Asian dishes and sushi to rich pasta sauces and buttery fish, this wine pairs beautifully with a range of flavors thanks to its soft structure and refined tastes. Serve lightly chilled for optimal flavor enjoyment.
