Auxerrois - Ahn Goellebour

The Auxerrois Ahn Goellebour 2024 comes from a single characterful parcel above the winemakers village of Ahn. The Goellebour site features clay rich soils that give the wine its soft creamy structure and pleasantly round mouthfeel which makes Auxerrois from this region so special. The vines are 15 to 20 years old an age where they have sufficient strength and depth while still retaining lively elegant freshness. For this vintage the grapes were harvested exclusively by hand to select only perfectly ripened fruit. The wine is then vinified monoparzially produced entirely from this one clearly defined parcel allowing the Auxerrois to express the identity of the Goellebour vineyard with particular precision and authenticity. In the cellar a combination of stainless steel tank and barrique is used with oak employed subtly. The barrique adds structure depth and a fuller mouthfeel without introducing dominant aromas. The wine remains clear fresh and true to its variety the wood supports it gently without overpowering the flavor. In the glass the 2024 Auxerrois appears dry fruit forward and harmonious with delicate stone fruit and yellow fruit notes blending into an elegant soft texture and fine restrained structure. It feels open clean and straightforward yet charming and well balanced a wine with quiet depth and much authenticity. This careful handling of vineyard and grapes is underscored by organic certification LU BIO 05 demonstrating sustainable practices in cultivation. The Auxerrois Ahn Goellebour 2024 thus appeals to both connoisseurs and curious enthusiasts an elegant site specific Auxerrois that reflects the Ahn terroir clearly and coherently.
