Wild Raspberries, Rose Petals, Fine Tannins, and Cool-Climate Precision

The 2023 Domaine Raymond Dupont-Fahn Auxey-Duresses "Derrière Le Four" Rouge is a vibrant, translucent Pinot Noir from a sheltered hillside lieu-dit. It offers lifted aromas of crunchy cranberries, wild raspberries, rose petals, and subtle sous-bois. Medium-bodied and tensile, it presents juicy red fruit over chalky, fine-grained tannins and brisk limestone acidity, finishing clean, mouth-watering, and refreshingly mineral.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir harvested from "Derrière Le Four," an East-facing hillside parcel positioned right behind the historic communal baker’s oven in the village of Auxey-Duresses.
  • Planted on high-drainage, stony clay-limestone soils that lend tension, high-toned floral aromatics, and a signature chalky finish.
  • Produced by Raymond Dupont-Fahn, renowned for his minimalist cellar philosophy, indigenous yeast fermentations, and early picking regime that highlights energy over heft.
  • Matured for 12 to 14 months primarily in used French oak casks (around 15–20% new oak), ensuring wood serves strictly as a texturizing background note.
  • From the generous and classically balanced 2023 Burgundy vintage; shows lovely transparency and immediate drinkability with the acidity to keep well through 2033+.

Tasting Notes

Bright, translucent ruby with pink-garnet highlights, it leads with an incisive, floral-driven aromatic profile of cranberries, wild red raspberries, and tart cherries, accented by dried rose petals, damp limestone, and a hint of white pepper. The palate is medium-bodied and tensile, framing mouth-watering red berry fruits with fine, chalky tannins and vibrant limestone acidity, closing on a clean, savory, and mineral-lifted 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 tight red berry and floral aromatics to open; pairs nicely with roast chicken with herbs, pan-seared duck breast, charcuterie, or young Comté. Optimal drinking window now through 2033+.
