Nathalie owns a 0.15-hectare sliver in the southern-Côte de Beaune village of Auxey-Duresses, nestled against Volnay and Meursault in the direction of Saint-Romain. This village’s more powerful signature of iron-tinged earth is well suited to a heartier elevage, and Nathalie employs 25% new oak for this wine’s 18-month stint in barrel. Richly textured but gentle in its extraction, this wine allows the power of the appellation to shine through without leaning into, and the oak’s subtle grace note adds a hint of appealing suaveness.
