The 2022 Matrot Auxey-Duresses Rouge is a refined and expressive Pinot Noir from the charming Auxey-Duresses appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune. Produced by Domaine Matrot, this wine showcases the elegance and freshness that make Auxey-Duresses a favourite among Burgundy enthusiasts, offering aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, complemented by subtle floral, spice and earthy notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity supporting flavours of red berries, sour cherry and delicate savoury spice. Fine tannins provide structure without heaviness, while the texture remains silky and approachable through to a long, dry finish with freshness and finesse.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Burgundy for those seeking classic Pinot Noir character with elegance and drinkability. Enjoy now or cellar over the next 5–8 years as additional complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with roast chicken, duck, mushroom risotto, charcuterie and soft-ripened cheeses.
