2023, Le Plain de Lugny, Auxey-Duresses

Le Plain de Lugny is Pauline Genot's Pinot Noir from Auxey-Duresses, launched under her own name after she took over the family vineyards in Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses in 2021. The wine is vinified and aged at Domaine Truchetet, where Pauline works with Morgan and Julie Truchetet, and 2023 is only her second vintage from these plots. It is classic Côte de Beaune: cool, precise, and with the slightly more upright, chalky energy that Auxey-Duresses often provides.
