The 2022 Domaine Raymond Dupont-Fahn Auxey-Duresses "Derrière Le Four" Rouge is a pure, mineral-etched Pinot Noir from a cooler hillside lieu-dit. It bursts with aromas of crunchy red cherries, wild raspberries, fresh peonies, and subtle forest floor. Medium-bodied and supple, it blends ripe red berry fruit with fine, powdery tannins and mouth-watering limestone freshness, finishing clean, savory, and delicately mineral.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir sourced from "Derrière Le Four" (literally "behind the oven"), a prized hillside lieu-dit tucked within the cool, sheltered valley of Auxey-Duresses.
  • Planted on stony, chalky clay-limestone slopes that impart distinctive limestone energy, bright red berry perfume, and a chiseled saline cut.
  • Crafted by Raymond Dupont-Fahn, representing the third generation of the estate, famous for chemical-free farming and a crystalline cellar philosophy prioritizing natural acidity over excessive extraction.
  • Aged for 12 to 14 months primarily in seasoned French oak barrels (only ~15–20% new oak) to preserve delicate fruit purity and floral lift.
  • From the warm, concentrated, yet fresh 2022 Burgundy vintage; delivers vibrant accessibility in its youth with the balance to develop through 2032+.

Tasting Notes

Bright, luminous ruby with crimson glints, it opens with pure, high-toned aromas of crunchy red cherries, wild raspberries, and cranberries, underscored by fresh peonies, forest floor, and a delicate touch of white pepper. The palate is medium-bodied, linear, and tensile, balancing juicy red fruit against fine, chalky tannins and vibrant limestone acidity, concluding on a clean, lingering, and mouth-watering saline finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 14–16°C in standard Burgundy stemware.
  • Decanting: Best enjoyed with 15 to 20 minutes of gentle aeration in the glass to allow its bright red berry aromatics and floral nuances to expand; pairs wonderfully with roasted guinea fowl, duck breast, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, or soft cow's milk cheeses. Optimal drinking window now through 2032+.
