2023 Domaine Charles Audoin

Founded in 1972 by Charles and Marie-Francoise Audoin, Domaine Charles Audoin has been central to Marsannay's evolution into one of the Cote de Nuits' most engaging appellations. From an initial three hectares, it has grown to fourteen across many of the village's key sites. Since taking over in 2000, Cyril Audoin has brought a quiet precision to both vineyard and cellar, guiding the estate to organic certification and overseeing the construction of a purpose-built winery. The result is a style that feels unmistakably of Marsannay: pure, composed, and full of energy.

The 2023 vintage marks a return to balance after recent extremes, with moderate warmth, steady rainfall, and well-proportioned yields. At Charles Audoin, the combination of healthy fruit and patient elevage has produced wines that are supple and finely detailed, with the clarity and structure that define the domaine's best years. It's a vintage that reflects both the estate's steady hand and the growing confidence of Marsannay as one of Burgundy's most rewarding and characterful sources of value.
