Domaine Charles Audoin was formed in 1972 by Charles and his oenologist wife Marie-Francoise, starting with three hectares in Marsannay. Their holding has now grown to around 14 hectares that captures some of the best parcels in Marsannay. Their son Cyril joined his father in 2000, and is now in charge of both vineyard and winemaking activities for the Domaine. Cyril is increasingly focused on vineyard health, to deliver wines with pure varietal expression and a sense of place. They are among the most serious wines from the area, and while juicy and approachable young, have the capacity to age gracefully for many years.

Other Reviews....
This is absurdly good for the humble category! Still very youthful, but with a cornucopia of red-berry aromas, wonderful freshness and astonishingly fine tannins that make the long finish very elegant. 100% from Marsannay village vineyards. Drink or hold.

Earthy and very fresh red and dark pinot fruit precedes the delicious and equally earthy middle weight flavors that reflect hints of crushed leaves and bitter cherry pit on the lingering finish that is shaped by bright acidity. Drink to 2024+.
