Presentation
Nestled in the valley at the exit of Auxey-Duresses, the Domaine de la Roche Aiguë was founded in 1995 in the hamlet of Melin by Florence and Éric Guillemard. Coming from a winemaking family, Éric has been passionate about the craft since his early childhood. In 2016, their eldest daughter, Lucie, joined the estate. Together, they cultivate a 14-hectare vineyard spread across Auxey-Duresses, Saint-Romain, Meursault, and Pommard, among others. Deeply connected to nature and proud of their terroir, they naturally choose to work their vines and wines with the utmost respect. Advocates of short ageing to preserve the fruit's integrity, their wines offer a beautiful balance of roundness, substance, and liveliness. They represent an accessible, sincere Burgundy focused above all on quality.

This wine stands out with a powerful yet velvety mouthfeel. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, redcurrant, and cherry pit unfold. Its color is deep and intense—initially purplish, evolving with age into deeper ruby, even violet hues.

Ideal with roasted or braised game (both feathered and furred), as well as beef steak, lamb, stewed poultry, and charcuterie dishes that appreciate its concentrated aromas.
