Domaine d'Auvenay Auxey-Duresses La Macabree 2009 AOC 0.75l

Domaine d'Auvenay Auxey-Duresses La Macabree 2009 AOC 0.75l is a bottle that invites you to pause and listen to a memory of soil and light, born in a portion of Auxey-Duresses where the limestone matrix and clay texture create a mineral richness that emerges discreetly yet with a definite presence. La Macabree is part of a history of discreet production and a corporate identity focused on the authentic expression of the terroir, a philosophy that views the vineyard as an organism to be protected rather than a source to be squeezed. The winery works with a light hand: manual harvesting, low yields, spontaneous fermentations, and maturation in previously used wooden containers, a choice that prioritizes the olfactory memory of the vineyard over the immediate impact of new wood. Among its distinctive features is a distinctive expressiveness that combines mineral clarity with a subtle smoothness, a balance that allows the wine to express the geology of the soil and the season without giving in to the show. On the nose, notes of citrus zest, white peach, a light balsamic note, and a subtle hint of white flowers emerge, while on the palate, the texture is smooth yet present: a vein of savory underpins an elegant structure, a texture that extends with a centered and clean finish, free from artifice. La Macabree occupies a central place in the Domaine d'Auvenay range, not so much as a simple label but as an emblem of a philosophy that prioritizes the integrity of the vineyard and the memory of the terroir, offering an experience that invites thoughtful tasting rather than immediate consumption. In keeping with the STELT positioning, this bottle expresses restraint, depth, and confidence in time: a composition that rewards those who know how to wait, understand, and reconnect with the terroir without haste. This wine requires time to oxygenate in the glass and improves with aeration. It varies depending on serving temperature and pairs well with simple dishes such as baked white fish, delicate shellfish, and medium-hard aged cheeses. La Macabree is not a bottle for everyday use, but an object of contemplation that values ​​patience in pairing and the balance between terroir and winemaking art. Within the Domaine d'Auvenay portfolio, Auxey-Duresses La Macabree 2009 represents the culmination of a quest that prioritizes slowness, precision, and depth, offering an authentic dialogue between terroir and human touch, a signature destined to evolve over time and nourish the drinker's memory.
