Coming Soon - 2023 Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Au Champ Salomon

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.

Situated in the southern part of Marsannay, Au Champ Salomon is regarded as one of the leading vineyards of the Couchey sector. Set on the mid-slope, it produces wines that combine power and elegance, with an ability to age exceptionally well.

Other Reviews....
As graceful as it is rich, this extraordinary pinot noir is a giant of subtlety. Incredible concentration and underplayed power on the super-silky, medium-bodied palate. Hard to put into words the purity, precision and refinement at the extremely long finish. From vines planted in 1959. From organically grown grapes. Bottled unfiltered and unfined. Drink or hold.

Like the Favières, this possesses a super-fresh nose of high-toned red berries, rose petal and a subtle earth nuance. There is outstanding volume and punch to the powerful and focused larger-bodied flavors that deliver first-rate persistence on the balanced, firm and serious finish. This too is excellent. Drink through 2033+.
