Bourgogne Côtes d'Auxerre

This still red is made from Pinot Noir in Bourgogne Côtes d’Auxerre. Gérard Persenot is among the growers working in the roughly fifty-hectare Vaux vineyard above the Yonne valley. Vaux was replanted in the 1970s. Its south-southeast-facing slopes carry Kimmeridgian soils, while Portlandian soils occur on the plateau. The domaine is based in Saint-Bris-le-Vineux, France.
