Crisp Citrus, White Flowers, Saline Cut, and Les Vireux Tension

The 2023 Domaine Raymond Dupont-Fahn Auxey-Duresses "Les Vireux" Blanc is an incisive, mineral-driven Chardonnay from a high-altitude, wind-swept parcel. It reveals focused aromas of lemon zest, crisp green apple, white peach, crushed chalk, and white flowers. Medium-bodied and energetic, it delivers pure orchard fruit driven by mouth-watering limestone acidity and subtle oak framing, finishing long, racy, and saline.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay harvested from "Les Vireux," a steeply sloped lieu-dit positioned high on the hillside overlooking Auxey-Duresses and neighboring Meursault.
  • Grown on shallow, very rocky limestone and white marl soils exposed to cool valley breezes, yielding razor-sharp tension, floral purity, and intense mineral drive.
  • Crafted by Raymond Dupont-Fahn, widely celebrated for picking relatively early to safeguard pure natural acidity and avoiding heavy bâtonnage to keep the wine bright and crystalline.
  • Matured for around 12 months in French oak barrels with modest new wood usage (~15–20%), lending gentle texture without obscuring the terroir's mineral backbone.
  • From the balanced and expressive 2023 Burgundy harvest; offers sparkling freshness and drinkability today alongside the structure to age effortlessly through 2033+.

Tasting Notes

Bright, pale straw with silvery-green highlights, it opens with vibrant aromas of lemon zest, green orchard apples, white peaches, and hawthorn blossoms, underscored by crushed chalk and faint toasted brioche. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, linear, and taut, leading with vibrant citrus and stone fruits that are quickly framed by electric limestone acidity and a hint of salinity, concluding on a pristine, mouth-watering mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled at 10–12°C in standard white Burgundy stemware.
  • Decanting: Best enjoyed with 10 to 15 minutes in the glass to allow its tight citrus and chalky aromatics to expand; pairs superbly with fresh oysters, grilled sea bass, scallop carpaccio, roast poultry with lemon-herb butter, or young goat cheeses. Optimal drinking window now through 2033+.
