About

A red wine from Domaine Charles Audoin, Fixin AOC (Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France), crafted from 100% Pinot Noir. "Le Rozier" is known for its traditionally elegant style combining earthy tones with red berry fruit and fine structure. The 2012 vintage offers mature, refined expression with noticeable minerality and vibrancy. Well-suited for cellar aging or enjoying over the next 5–8 years.

Producer

A descendant of a family in which the art of winemaking was passed from father to son, Charles Audoin became the head of the winery in 1972 together with his wife Marie-Françoise, an oenologist by training. The 35-acre winery, located in the commune of Marsanne-la-Côte, produces fourteen different wines thanks to its large variety of soils and grape varieties. Renowned for the quality and consistency of its wines, which often win prizes in the price-performance category in various competitions, Domaine Charles Audoin uses traditional wine-making methods.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby with a subtle purple hue. Aromas of red and black fruit layered with earthy undertones. On the palate — elegant Pinot Noir, with a juicy berry core, gentle spice, and a smoky nuance. Finish is moderately extended, with soft tannins and lingering vibrancy.

Pairing

Excellent with grilled or braised game (like wild birds or kangaroo), richly flavored red meats, forest mushrooms, and hearty earthy salads.

Pinot Noir

All products from this varietal

Pinot Noir has very aromatic profile, very fresh acidity and low level of quaite soft tannins. The nature of Pinot Noir wine is its flavors of red berries and cherry (red sour cherries in lighter wines and cooked black cherries in bold examples). This wine matures very exating, developing notes of berry jam, violets, leather, moss and mushrooms.

Burgundy

All products from this region

Burgundy (Bourgogne) can be confusing because of the multiplicity of its appellations - all the small vineyards are divided between multiple producers so it can often be difficult to understand this diversity. However, it is the exact reason why the wines of Burgundy are considered to be the finest in the world. A common topic of discussion, when talking about Burgundy, is the concept of "terroir" - a unique combination of soil and climate conditions that affects the taste of wine in the appellations, making it unique to each village. Winemakers mainly use the capricious Pinot Noir and the classical Chardonnay to create true masterpieces, while Gamay and Aligote are used to make wines of a bit simpler style. Particular attention should be paid to the hierarchy of wines. First there are the regional and village wines, a step higher - the Premier Cru wines and the outstanding Grand Cru - at the top. Due the complex and inconsistent weather that can notably impact wine quality especially in bad harvest years, a very important factor here is the so called millesime - the harvest year of the grapes the particular wine is produced of, because each of these years has its own unique taste. Purchasing Burgundy wines is not easy because there are many details that should be taken into consideration - the class of the vineyard, the assessment of the manufacturer, the age of the vines, the quality of the wine as well as the millesime and, of course, the potential of ageing. The sellers play a big role here - they must be truly passionate about wine and able to offer only the best quality producers with a good reputation. That is exactly the way "Noble Wine" works!
