Product Description:
Elegant, poised and quietly expressive. The Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Auxey-Duresses Bas des Duresses 1er Cru Rouge 2023 is a finely detailed Pinot Noir from Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, shaped by old vines and a minimalist approach in both vineyard and cellar. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in large oak barrels with minimal new wood, it reflects the precision and terroir focus that define Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s rare red releases.
Aromas of red cherry, raspberry and rose petal are lifted by subtle spice and earth. The palate is medium-bodied, with vibrant red fruit at its core framed by taut acidity and fine, chalky tannins. Subtle oak polish enhances texture without obscuring the mineral edge. Long and refined through the finish, this wine shows the quiet generosity of Auxey-Duresses while retaining the elegance for which PYCM is known. A graceful Burgundy to enjoy young or after a few years’ cellaring, pairing beautifully with roast duck, mushroom risotto or charcuterie.
