2022 Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Blanc Au Champ Salomon

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 a dead-ringer for one of the Montrachet Grand Crus! So rich, so savory and spicy with candied-citrus and vanilla-bean character. Medium- to full-bodied with excellent concentration. The supple, yet focused and precise finish screams out “drink me!“ From organically grown grapes. Fermented and matured sur lie in 500-liter oak casks. Drink or hold.

Aromas of orange oil, pear, nutmeg and freshly baked bread introduce the 2022 Marsannay Au Champ Salomon Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, glossy and layered wine with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a penetrating, spicy finish.
