13%
0.75L
Intensity
This Premier Cru Pinot Noir offers elegant fruit, fine silky tannins and a striking mineral freshness.
More infoThe Premier Cru Les Grands Champs, nestled in the heart of Auxey-Duresses, faces due south on very stony clay-limestone slopes. Beneath, a subsoil of marl and limestone ensures excellent drainage, low vine vigour and aromatic concentration, bringing finesse, structure and a refined, indulgent minerality to the wine. Manual harvests are followed by meticulous sorting both in the vineyard and at the winery. Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats with gentle punch-downs and light pump-overs. After fermentation, the wine is aged for around 12 months in oak casks.
In the glass, the wine displays an intense ruby-red hue. The nose opens with an elegant mix of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, mingled with blackcurrant. The first sip is supple and refined, carried by fine, smooth tannins. Natural freshness balances the richness of the fruit, giving the wine beautiful tension.

About the Producer Prunier-Damy
Domaine Prunier-Damy, based in Auxey-Duresses, came to be when plots from two vineyards were brought together. The first, Domaine Damy (Gagnard), dates back to 1712, while the second, owned by the Prunier family, dates back to 1840. Since 2010, Justine Damy is in charge of the business, having taken over from her parents Philippe and Annie. Having inherited the family expertise and proud of her hometown of Auxey-Duresses, a discreet appellation in the Côte de Beaune, she cultivates 16 hectares of vines and produces high-quality wines that reflect their terroir.
A new vathouse was built in 2007. Justine applies environmentally friendly viticulture methods and uses selected organic products (the estate is not yet certified). Vegetation cover, controlled yields, increasingly manual harvesting, vinification in vats followed by ageing in wooden casks (with a majority of old casks).
The resulting wines are authentic, luscious and supple. We encourage you to try them, as they still present a good opportunity to acquire terroir wines at reasonable prices.
