David Trousselle Auxey-Duresses Rouge 2022

$4699

Auxey-Duresses has long been the Cote de Beaune's best-kept secret for Pinot lovers, a cooler, hill-tucked village just behind Meursault and Monthelie. David Trousselle recently added 0.4 hectares here, in keeping with his stated preference for cool-climate terroirs. The wine is destemmed, native-yeast fermented over 15-20 days of gentle maceration, and aged in barrel with minimal new oak (10-20% max), farmed naturally and converting to organic. The 2022 vintage brought ripe, generous fruit to the Cote de Beaune while holding onto freshness, a warm-but-balanced profile that suits Auxey's cool site beautifully. Burgundy's quiet under-the-radar pick.

More about David Trousselle

The wine world is small and close knit. One of the best ways to discover what’s new is to ask your favorite growers who they’re excited about.

Meursault superstar Pierre Boisson gave our friends at Polaner Selections just such a tip: David Trousselle. Trousselle farms Boisson’s parcel in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune and Pierre raved about his work in the vines as well as the quality of the wines Trousselle makes at his family domaine.

And we are so glad he did. Trousselle’s wines aren't just among our most compelling, utterly delicious Burgundies we've come across in ages -- they're also unbelievable values.

High up in the hamlet of Orches, in a cool pocket between St. Aubin and St. Romain, Trousselle is organically farming a collection of old vines of Aligoté, Chardonnay, Gamay and Pinot Noir situated on limestone rich soils that his father planted in the early '80s. At the time, these out of the way terroirs struggled for ripeness. But with global warming they're now in a real climatic sweet spot, giving wines of supple, crunchy fruit with exhilarating tension, freshness and chalky mineral grip.

David is a minimalist in the cellar. All fermentations are natural and the wines rest in older oak barrels. The wines are hard to resist young but would absolutely improve with a few years aging in a cold cellar. We would recommend grabbing some bottles to drink now as well as a few to stash away.

In a region so steeped in history and hierarchy, these incredible values on the edges of Burgundy from growers like Trousselle beg the question: are these humble vineyards the grand terroirs of the future?

Well, that remains to be seen. But there's already no doubt that these wines deliver the goods, with value that is simply outstanding.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pan-seared duck breast with cherries, classic beef bourguignon, or roast quail with herbs. Also pairs nicely with wild mushroom risotto, grilled portobello, or a wedge of aged Beaufort.

Tasting Profile

Black cherry, dried raspberry, and pomegranate with a lift of rose, sous-bois, and crushed stone. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity, structured tannins, and a savory, lingering finish.
