Description of Auxey-Duresses Blanc Les Crais

Estate

Domaine Alain Gras is a family-owned estate recognized for its traditional expertise and consistent quality wines. Located in Burgundy, the estate prioritizes environmentally-friendly viticulture to express the authentic character of its terroirs.

Vineyard

This wine comes from the Côte de Beaune, a prestigious subregion in Burgundy known for elegant white wines. The parcels are situated on limestone soils that provide excellent drainage, enhancing the aromatic concentration of the grapes.

Wine

This Auxey-Duresses white is made exclusively from Chardonnay. It reflects the freshness and purity typical of wines from this terroir, balancing structure and finesse. The wine displays beautiful aromatic complexity supported by subtle minerality.

Vintage

The 2024 vintage in Burgundy shows promise, with favorable climatic conditions allowing optimal ripening. This wine can be enjoyed now while developing further complexity over the coming years.

Vinification & Aging

The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed. Vinification occurs in stainless steel tanks with temperature control to preserve freshness. Aging is done on fine lees in tanks for several months to provide roundness and complexity without barrel influence.

Grape Variety

100% Chardonnay

Characteristics & Tasting

Tasting

  • Appearance: Pale yellow color with bright green highlights.
  • Nose: Fine and elegant nose with aromas of white flowers, fresh lemon, and a hint of flint.
  • Palate: Lively attack followed by a smooth texture, persistent mineral freshness, and a long, balanced finish.

Serving

Serve between 50-54°F (10-12°C). A short decanting may be beneficial to fully reveal the aromatic complexity, especially for younger wines.

Food Pairings

This wine pairs well with grilled sea bass with a sauce vierge, green asparagus risotto, matured Époisses cheese, or a free-range chicken supreme with morels.

Occasions

Ideal for an elegant business lunch, a Sunday family meal, or a significant birthday celebration.

Aging Potential

Can be enjoyed now but will gain complexity over the next 7 to 10 years, offering a beautiful aromatic evolution.

An enthusiast appreciating freshness and a certain mineral tension, with a balance between liveliness and roundness, will find this wine more suitable than a heavier or oaky wine.

What risks does opening this wine too early pose in the case of a tasting among connoisseurs?

Opening too early can reduce the perception of its aromatic complexity, especially if the wine is intended for an in-depth tasting.
