Coming Soon - 2023 Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Les Favieres

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.

Bordering Marsannay and Couchey, Les Favieres has very shallow topsoil directly over bedrock, producing precise, firmly structured wines with notable ageing potential.

Other Reviews....
Incredibly concentrated and refined, this has a mind-blowing aroma of sour cherries, but on the palate it is still slowly opening up, with great chalky minerality that builds and builds to an extraordinary climax at the almost endless finish. From organically grown grapes. Bottled unfiltered and unfined. Drink or hold.

An exuberantly fresh nose freely offers up its array of elegant essence of red cherry, soft earth and plenty of floral elements. There is impressive density, and particularly so for the vintage, to the vibrant and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that display the hallmark power and minerality of a fine Favières. Excellent. Drink through 2033+.
