Jean & Gilles Lafouge are the 6th generation of winemakers to run this small family Domaine, which is regularly cited as one of the top Domaines of the Auxey-Duresses Appellation. Gilles has now fully taken over the reins, but his father, in typical Burgundian fashion, still works in the vineyards (virtually organic). The family is closely connected with the famous Meursault family Michel Bouzereau, whose daughter Gilles married!
While reference/comparison is often made to more famous neighbors, such as Meursault and Volnay, the wines from the finest winemakers in Auxey-Duresses undoubtedly stand on the own merit and have their own “terroir specific” individuality.
