i. Biography
The cellar work and farming at this Auxey-Duresses domaine are built around old vines, careful soil work and traditional methods. In Gilles Lafouge’s terms, the target is shape rather than weight: “I’m looking for direction with a little minerality, I don’t like heavy and I’m not a big fan of harvesting too early, but finesse of aroma and a little agrume I like!”
