Domaine Charles Audoin was formed in 1972 by Charles and his oenologist wife Marie-Francoise, starting with three hectares in Marsannay. Their holding has now grown to around 14 hectares that captures some of the best parcels in Marsannay. Their son Cyril joined his father in 2000, and is now in charge of both vineyard and winemaking activities for the Domaine. Cyril is increasingly focused on vineyard health, to deliver wines with pure varietal expression and a sense of place. They are among the most serious wines from the area, and while juicy and approachable young, have the capacity to age gracefully for many years.

Other Reviews....
The 2019 Aligoté Vieilles Vignes is lovely, bursting with aromas of pear, citrus zest, white flowers and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, it's concentrated and structured, with a ripe core of fruit girdled by tangy acids. This is a serious, age-worthy Aligoté that Audoin ferments and matures in 500-liter barrels.
