Let's talk little, let's talk wine

Description of Domaine de la Roche Aiguë

Domaine de la Roche Aiguë, nestled in the heart of Burgundy, is famous for its mastery of traditional winemaking methods and its commitment to sustainable viticulture. This family estate produces wines that embody the essence of the Burgundian terroir, with a particular emphasis on the authentic expression of local grape varieties.

Description of the Cuvée Auxey-Duresses Rouge

The Cuvée Auxey-Duresses Rouge is made mainly from Pinot Noir, carefully selected for its ability to reflect the subtle nuances of this distinctive terroir. The wine is vinified in accordance with traditions, aiming to preserve the characteristic aromas of the grape variety while adding complexity through careful aging in oak barrels.

Aromas of the Cuvée

This delicate red offers a bouquet of fresh red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, with touches of violet and sweet spices that reveal themselves on the nose. Subtle notes of undergrowth and leather add depth and elegant complexity to the aromatic whole.

Characteristics of the Cuvée

Grape variety: Pinot Noir
Profile: Auxey-Duresses Rouge is characterized by a fine structure and silky tannins, offering a harmonious and balanced palate. The natural acidity of Pinot Noir brings freshness and dynamism, making it a wine that is both accessible and capable of aging well.
Aging Potential: Although this wine is pleasant in its youth for its liveliness and fruity expression, it also has good aging potential, allowing the tannins to soften and the secondary aromas to develop with time.

Pairings with this Cuvée

This wine is ideal with light red meat dishes, such as duck or veal, and also goes well with dishes cooked with mushrooms or soft cheeses. Its finesse makes it an excellent companion for meals that require an elegant, non-dominating wine.

Where are we traveling?

Burgundy is a real adventure land for wine lovers! Supported by a predominantly continental climate, Burgundy wines draw their unique character from diverse influences — continental, Mediterranean and oceanic — which intertwine to create a symphony of incomparable flavors. It is this climatic fusion that allows each Burgundy Grand Cru to reveal aromas and flavors that some consider to be the best in the world. From north to south, each Burgundian wine region, from Chablis to Mâconnais, benefits from its own microclimate. In Chablis, winegrowers combat spring frosts by wrapping the vines in a protective cocoon of frozen water. On the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, the hills capture the sunlight, generating hot summers which fill the grapes with sunshine, while the Mâconnais benefits from an almost Mediterranean climate, less prone to frost and drier. This mix of climatic conditions, combined with a diverse geology with more than 400 different soil types, gives each Burgundy wine its own identity. Each bottle is a story of terroir, a story of land and climate, an invitation to explore the rich wine heritage of Burgundy.

The little history of the country

Burgundy

France, home of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, is undoubtedly the most important wine producing country in the world. For centuries, it produced wine in greater quantities than any other country. Wine is ingrained in French culture at almost every level of society; it is the drink of the elite and the common people, and a key symbol of Roman Catholicism, the majority religion in France. The diversity of French wines is due, in large part, to the country's wide variety of climates.
