Auxey-Duresses Clos du Val 1er cru by Domaine Michel Prunier et Fille 2009

Auxey-Duresses Clos du Val 1er cru

by Domaine Michel Prunier et Fille 2009

Producer : Domaine Michel Prunier et Fille

Region : Burgundy (France), France (France)

Bottle Per Case : 6 x 750 ml

Tasting Notes

Made from 30 year old Pinot Noir vines grown in limestone over chalky clay, matured for 15 months in French oak barriques (25% new). The Clos du Val has a beautiful red ruby core and small red fruit on the nose; the palate is rich and powerful, with delicate and elegant tannins and a long and persistent finish. This has the structure and silkiness of a good 1er cru Volnay.

The Producer

Domaine Michel Prunier et Fille

Michel Prunier works alongside his daughter Estelle who joined him in 2004 after concluding her wine studies and work experience in Australia and Bordeaux. Michel himself studied in the Champagne region at the viticultural college at Avize. They represent the fourth and fifth generations to make wine here, Michel having grown the estate to 12 ha from only two ha in 1986. As a result they have vineyards in Auxey, Beaune, Meursault, Volnay, Pommard, Chorey and the Hautes-Côtes, but the pride and joy remains the holding of Auxey-Duresses 1er cru Clos du Val. Three smaller premier crus in the village Bas de Duresses, Grands Champs and Climat du Val are always blended together. ‘A wine should frankly express its terroir and vintage’, says Michel, so they adapt to each plot, ploughing some for better aeration and drainage while planting grass in others to reduce erosion and control vine vigour. Respecting the environment using sustainable, lutte raisonnée methods is the modus operandi here.
