In November 2021, Pauline Genot reclaimed her maternal grandparents’ vineyards in Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses and launched Vignoble de Pauline. The wines are vinified and matured at Domaine Truchetet, in Premeaux-Prissey, where her husband Morgan and his sister Julie run the sixth generation of the family estate.

« Le Plain de Ligny » is Pauline’s inaugural Auxey-Duresses plot, farmed organically since 2021. Production is small — around 2,400 bottles a year.

The approach is deliberately quiet: work the soil, keep the cellar out of the way. Fermentation on indigenous yeasts, minimal intervention, and bottling by gravity, without pumps.

A bright, ripe red-fruit bouquet with hints of spice, and an elegantly structured palate. Clarity and finesse, closing on a subtle mineral streak.
