Auxey-Duresses – David Moret

The Auxey-Duresses white wine from David Moret, 2024 vintage, is a round, lively Côte de Beaune white, to be discovered away from the big Meursault labels. A precise, easy-to-love Chardonnay.

David Moret, négociant in Beaune

A Burgundian with no family wine heritage, David Moret studied viticulture and oenology, then sold winemaking equipment to Côte de Beaune growers before buying his first barrels in 1999. Based in Beaune, this micro-négociant selects grapes from small plots with partner growers, mainly around Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. He follows the vines, sets the harvest date, picks by hand and presses whole bunches gently.

The wine: Auxey-Duresses white wine

100% Chardonnay from 41-year-old vines, on south-facing slopes between Saint-Romain and Meursault, on limestone and clay soils at 200 to 300 m above sea level. The grapes are pressed gently as whole bunches, fermented with native yeasts, and the wine is bottled without fining or filtration. 2024 vintage.

Tasting notes

The nose recalls lemon zest and pastry, with a hint of struck match. The palate is round and balanced by lively acidity, and the finish lingers on citrus.

Food pairing, serving and ageing

Serve it with veal chop and morels, lemon perch fillets, Époisses, 24-month Comté or Brillat-Savarin. Serve at 10 to 12°C, with a little decanting if you like, and enjoy within 5 to 8 years for its fruit and freshness.
