Domaine Jean et Gilles Lafouge, a cherished insider gem in Burgundy, consistently crafts compelling wines from approximately 10 hectares spanning the appellations of Auxey-Duresses, Meursault, and Pommard. Embracing old vines, nurtured soils, and classical winemaking, Gilles Lafouge relies on these fundamentals for his recipe of success. While renowned for superb Meursault and Pommard, it's essential not to overlook the Auxey-Duresses red and white varieties. These wines showcase the potential of their terroirs when treated with the same care as more prestigious appellations, and they gracefully age over time.
Situated adjacent to Meursault Vireuils and benefiting from similar terroir, this wine is truly exceptional. It boasts concentrated notes of apple and citrus fruit, complemented by a delightful floral undertone and well-balanced acidity. Remarkably impressive for its price, this bottle stands out as a fantastic value.
