    The wine

    Although the Pinot Auxerrois comes from the heart of Hengst Grand Cru, it is not counted among the noble grape varieties and therefore cannot strictly bear the title of Grand Cru. The ‘X’ in its name – pronounced ‘H’ – is an allusion to Hengst and the only vestige of its noble origin. The wine is produced according to organic and biodynamic methods, and is matured in 100 year-old oak barrels. It is chiselled, fresh and delicate, pairing perfectly with blanquette de volaille or soft cheese.
