Coming Soon - 2023 Domaine Charles Audoin Gevrey-Chambertin
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.
Other Reviews....
Rich and well-structured, just as we expect the wines from this appellation to be. Plenty of blackberry, damson-plum and a touch of elderberry aromas. Abundant fine tannins and a touch of wet-earth character are wrapped in great fruit, right through the long, velvety finish with an animal flavor. From organically grown grapes. Bottled unfiltered and unfined. Drink or hold.

Firm reduction dominates the nose. On the palate there is both excellent detail and vibrancy if only average density to the delicious flavors that also conclude in a youthfully austere bitter pit fruit-inflected finale. Drink through 2029+.
