Domaine d’Auvenay Auxey-Duresses “Les Clous” 2007

The Domaine d’Auvenay Auxey-Duresses “Les Clous” 2007 is one of the most intimate and pure reflections of Lalou Bize-Leroy’s philosophy—an emblematic figure of authentic and visionary Burgundy. Sourced from a small vineyard on the limestone slopes of Auxey-Duresses, this Chardonnay embodies a perfect balance of mineral rigor, energy, and aromatic precision.

The 2007 vintage, fresh and luminous, favored slow and harmonious grape maturation, resulting in a wine of great tension and definition, among the most elegant ever produced by the Domaine. The bouquet is refined and layered: lemon zest, linden blossom, almond, wet stone, with touches of honey and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, the texture is pure and vibrant, marked by saline tension that sustains its mineral persistence. The finish is long, precise, and radiant—true to d’Auvenay’s style: intensity without weight, depth without excess.

This is a white wine of spirituality and rigor, capable of uniting complexity and transparency like few other Chardonnays in the world.
