Aurélien’s father was one of the first in Burgundy to be engaged in organic and biodynamic practices, and Aurélien, without the inherited vineyard resources of most Burgundian families, went out to work for other vignerons while he built his own winery (a modern and large above ground cement structure) after hours while he gradually built his own brand.

One of the most modern and fresh of the Burgundian producers, with his point of difference being the soft, fragrant and seamlessly structured and delicious red berry flavours that run through his entire range from Commune to Premier Cru releases. Whilst mid-range in price, the quality of Aurélien’s wines indicate that these are underpriced compared to their peers.

Overview

The 2018 Domaine Aurélien Verdet Nuit-Saint-Georges opens with an engaging array of aromatics, featuring ripe blackcurrants and dark plumbs, interwoven with nuances of violets and a subtle hint of earthiness, creating a captivating first impression. On the palate, it offers a rich and full-bodied experience, where the opulence of the fruit is balanced by a polished structure of fine-grained tannins and a lively acidity. A gentle touch of oak adds complexity and depth without overshadowing the wine's natural vibrancy. The 2018 vintage from Domaine Aurélien Verdet is both immediately approachable and worthy of aging.
