"As many of you know, the domaine where I sourced the fruit for the Beaune 1er cru Cent Vignes was sold in 2020 and the new owner decided to keep all the fruit. I am delighted to have found another Beaune 1er cru to replace it. The Avaux vineyard is located on the Pommard side of Beaune. Domaine Newman (where I worked for 13 years) owned a parcel of Clos des Avaux so I know the area well. The wine was always one of my favourites at the domaine and I am very pleased to find many similar characters in the wine made from this new parcel. The resulting wine from this plot is a finer wine than the Cent Vignes. 4.5 barrels " - Winemaker's Notes
