Information
Domaine Prunier-Damy, based in Auxey-Duresses, came to be when plots from two vineyards were brought together. The first, Domaine Damy (Gagnard), dates back to 1712, while the second, owned by the Prunier family, dates back to 1840. Since 2010, Justine Damy is in charge of the business, having taken over from her parents Philippe and Annie. Having inherited the family expertise and proud of her hometown of Auxey-Duresses, a discreet appellation in the Côte de Beaune, she cultivates 16 hectares of vines and produces high-quality wines that reflect their terroir.
A new vathouse was built in 2007. Justine applies environmentally friendly viticulture methods and uses selected organic products (the estate is not yet certified). Vegetation cover, controlled yields, increasingly manual harvesting, vinification in vats followed by ageing in wooden casks (with a majority of old casks).
The resulting wines are authentic, luscious and supple. We encourage you to try them, as they still present a good opportunity to acquire terroir wines at reasonable prices.
The Meursault vineyards offer a wealth of expressions of Chardonnay, and this wine is a fine example of a full-bodied, powerful wine that is designed to age well. Intense notes of stone fruit, fresh almonds, toasted hazelnuts and butter emerge from its rich, generous colour. The almost unctuous texture is enlivened by a delightful minerality and a noble acidity, typical of Chardonnay.
This wine was produced from vines planted in 1978, towering a hundred metres above the Premier Crus of the appellation. Their yields are low yet concentrated and of high quality.
In the winery, the grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks until halfway through the fermentation stage, before being transferred to casks, which impart both structure and finesse to the juice. The wine then ages in casks, with 30% new wood, for a period of nine months.
