Edouard Lepesme worked until 2010 in the bulk wine trade. Then in 2011, he decided to pursue a degree in viticulture and oenology in Beaune, one of the most complete training programmes to become a vigneron. Diploma in the bag, he headed off to work in Chablis with (well, well!) Thomas Pico and Alice & Olivier De Moor, continuing down to Claire Naudin’s Côte de Nuits Domaine, before taking off for a stay with Rudi Bauer in New Zealand... In 2014, he was looking for another job when he was presented the opportunity to take over the estate of André Bonat in Vaux-Auxerre – a chance he wasn’t going to waste. Keys in hand, he found himself with 13.5 hectares already cultivated organically for 15 years – a lucky break indeed! A superb playground where Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Aligoté reign, and wine-growing has been established since the Romans... a noble terroir if ever there was one! The rest of the story is as simple and natural as one could hope for!
Organic or biodynamic wine
Autessiodorum is the Gallo-Roman name of the city of Auxerre, a nod to Cesar, since the Romans are said to have brought this grape variety with them from Italy. An original wine with character, pinot-like, rustic in its youth, with hints of red fruit and undergrowth.
Organic or biodynamic wine
A generous wine, offering immediate pleasure, clean and precise, with notes of dried flowers and spices... Palate: rich, dense, persistent… a true success.
Organic or biodynamic wine
Powerful nose of stewed white fruit, raisins, biscuit... Voluminous, suave and long on the palate, a great gastronomic wine, to be sipped while listening a few Gainsbourg songs of course!
