Raymond Dupont-Fahn: Excellence and Purity from Côte de Beaune

Discover Raymond Dupont-Fahn

The Raymond Dupont-Fahn Estate, located in Tailly near Meursault, stands as one of the most exciting names in the Côte de Beaune. Raymond, a talented winemaker with a strong personality, has crafted a unique style by working his vineyards rigorously—avoiding herbicides and regularly tilling the soil—to produce exceptional wines. The estate is renowned for its iconic Les Tillets cuvée in Meursault and especially for its remarkable Auxey-Duresses "Les Vireux," whose vines nearly touch those of Meursault, resulting in wines of astonishing depth.

Terroir and Characteristics

The vineyard soils feature the rich clay-limestone composition typical of the Côte de Beaune, enhancing the expression of the planted grape varieties. Vinification is precise, with minimal new oak (around 10%) to highlight the purity of fruit and the minerality of the soil. This rigorous respect for terroir ensures wines with a balanced saline freshness and a pleasing rich texture.

Wine Profile

Raymond Dupont-Fahn's white wines are noted for a subtle balance of power and elegance, offering both aromatic breadth and a refreshing saline tension characteristic of great Burgundian whites. Their natural and authentic style perfectly reflects the character of both Meursault and Auxey-Duresses, with promising aging potential appreciated by discerning connoisseurs.

Food Pairings

These wines pair wonderfully with delicate dishes such as Pouligny-Saint-Pierre cheese, crayfish in court-bouillon, braised veal, or a turbot fillet with beurre blanc sauce. Their minerality and freshness also enhance matured cheeses like Époisses and Comté.
