Domaine Charles Audoin 'Les Favières' Marsannay 2022

A one-hectare vineyard that sits above the Château de Marsannay and derives its name from the proximity of bedrock to its surface. 50% of the vines were replanted in 2009. Clay-calcareous. Maceration and fermentation for 15 days, after which the wine is cellared in 20% new oak barrels for 12 to 18 months and for six months in tanks. The wine is finally bottled unfined and unfiltered. Charles Audoin was instrumental in the exploration and development of Marsannay as an appellation worthy of recognition. Now in the hands of Charles' son, Cyril, this estate is preserving its traditions into the next generation. The focus is on single-vineyard bottlings from Marsannay, showcasing the diversity of terroirs in this region. Farming is entirely organic with certification as of the 2018 vintage. The wines are elegant and refined, with the focus on clear fruit expression.
